Today I worked on developing the front end of the robot.
The front end is the forks, continuing on mine and Kirks plan.
I had attempted a design of the front forks previously. This proved ineffective as it was not sturdy enough and wouldn't allow the lift system to be added on.
I reevaluated this design and decided to use the claws included in the set. These seem very effective, and I constructed the front forks. The large claws are effective at reaching low, allowing the claws to reach underneath the opponents robot and then apply the forklift.
I also worked on the idea of a 270 degree forklift. It is possible. This will be extremely effective If the motor will be able to handle it.
Wiki'd tractor, front end loader and forklifts. Looked at some blueprints. Inspiration.
Tomorrow I will continue to work on the front system.

hahahaha your robot is no match for the power of my death machine you might as well just program yours so that it finds the line and keeps going save your robot from the slaughter now or it will be complete annihilation for your robot.
A good start to your Robot. Is Kirk doing anything?
Remember to continue talking about the why and the why not, which you have done well so far.
We had a trash talking day on Friday so feel free to talk big on some of the other blogs =) But remember to keep it appropriate for school.
