1/7/2014 Day 3: First Day Off

This year, my weekends will be on Tuesdays and Tuesdays only (will most likely do work on those days also anyways).  As it is Day 3, all (5) of the "Robot in 3 Days" teams released their release videos of their robots. The main robot I looked into was Team O-RYON and their robot "Draconis".  As expected, they used a roller intake to pick up the balls, which was effective.  Unlike our thought's though, they decided to use some sort of kicker or puncher, which fired, but not overpoweringly.  This helped show us a catapult is definitely the way to go.  Also, the robot didn't have a catching device, so it required a very accurate throw from either another robot or a human player.
