Summary - January
Despite the shrinking of the field, we decided that we needed the size of the medium VEX frame. This was necessary because of the internal devices that we wanted to have within the body of the frame. We used the largest gears on four-inch VEX wheels, hoping to add some speed to our heavy robot. We needed to use intake rollers to send the protons to the elevator; the protons would stall underneath the robot otherwise. We also had to add an elevator door because the proton kept rolling off of the elevator platform. The ramp and the diverter worked well, but we needed to cut a hole in the ramp to allow for the elevator door slider to raise and lower.
