Rouge Robot
We are making a robot which has a claw, pincers and back support in case we are attacked from behind.
1st problem was that the claw asnt strong enough to lift anything and the pincers were useless so i had the idea of making a scoop to try lift the other robots fronts tipping them off balance.
We have had a few setbacks as we are only allowed to use 5 engines when we needed 6-8. We have fixed this problem by making a bicycle chain effect with cogs and rubber bands.
We also had a problem with weight distribution in the fact that the front had too much weight with the claw compared to the back with barely anything so it would just topple forward.
We had another problem in that we ran out of wheels. We needed 8 but could only find 4. To fix this we found a cog and put an elastic band around it so it has traction.
We also added 2 small wheels to the back and front acting like stabilizers just to make sure it doesn’t topple when we go on uneven ground.
Fighting and challenges
IT FAILED
Kinda, we were able to move the coke can into the box and we did smash the course (literally) we failed in the fighting because our scoop broke and we were not able to fix it in time despite that we put in 2 decent fights before I kicked it to death.
What ive learnt.
Never pick those guys for my team again also next time make the base more sturdy make more wheels and make the scoop stronger. The skills ive learnt is how to make my way into other teams and steal heir ideas. What would I do differently? Noting apart from new teammates.
