Hey team! The third design being implemented onto this years robot is our flywheel intake. We will be using this to suck in the box from the ground and bring it into a position where the H.U.G. can get a hold of it.
For any of you who dont know what a flywheel is its a rubber wheel, usually paired with another, that spin at a set speed in order to grip and pull in what ever comes between them.
This intake will be placed on the front of the robot to maximize accessibility. The group of members working on it are making great progress and are ready for a full prototype.I personally cant wait to see it up and running.
