The pictures on the left are the ones I selected to compare for problem set #3.
  • Design B is the "baseline" to which I "base" my other designs on. It is a very standard dozer with the addition that the dozing shovel slides up and down so to allow driver to decide whether to push only balls or pucks as well.
  • Design a is a scooper. It scoops up the balls and brings them over onto the slide on its back. A trap door releases the balls when it is aligned with the scoring hole.
  • Two brushing and spinning parts collect and push objects (mainly balls) inside and out from the open back. The blades (or flaps) are fixed onto a central core, which spins and shoots (in some sense).
  • A rotating cut-out cylinder collects balls, encloses by rotating on axle, and sotres inside body. Backs up into scoring whole. The back end is either open, or maybe uses a trap door to open and close.
