The 2007 Robot: Zarthan

Zarthan

In 2007, our team's robot design has focused primarily on lifting the other robots on our alliance during the endgame for bonus points. We are planning to use two ramps positioned on opposite sides of the robot. During the endgame, the two other robots on our alliance will each be able to drive up a ramp and be lifted up twelve inches via pneumatics – the height required to score 60 bonus points. During normal game play, the ramps will be folded up (oriented perpendicular to the ground) which may be a useful defense to prevent other robots from placing the game pieces.
