2.007 Competition Robot
My 2.007 robot. I designed and built this four-bar-linkage robot for the class 2.007 Design and Manufacturing I. The class is designed around a robotics competition, where robots compete head-to-head to score the most points by collecting balls or moving large cylinders. I designed my robot so that the four-bar linkage arms could unfold from the starting box and easily grab four cylinders at once for maximum scoring potential. I used omni-wheels in the back connected to the front wheels via belt drives. This allowed me to have four-wheel-drive capability with only two motors. I finished 6th out of 128 students in the final competition Solid model of my robot
