First post
Hello all!
Welcome to Team Applesauce's blog! Follow us here to stay updated on our progress throughout the rest of the semester as we build our machine to compete in the arena.
Final Strategy:
The final strategy we decided on was to move as many ping pong balls as possible to the opponents side of the slot.
Final concept:
Our final concept that we decided on was to use a lever arm within the slot to scoop out the ping pong balls and move them over the center divider to accomplish our strategy. Our machine is positioned on the top table of the arena. We have two arms connected to our main body of the machine. One arm moves vertically to adjust the arm length that is within the slot to reach the balls that are worth more points. The second arm rotates within the slot with the balls resting on top of it and after rotation allows them to roll off into the opponents side of the slot. The main machine is on wheels to give us horizontal movement as a backup technique to accomplish our goal.
Here is an older screen shot before we made further modifications to the model:
Here is the most recent screen shot of our machine that we presented within our DR, as you can see the different modules are denoted by different colors, this is a trimetric view:
