TEAM 14 "SKANKY TANKY"
-DESIGN
 
Skany Tanky consisted of tank treads and hence the name Tanky. Skanky?
Err-- ummm yeah. The idea came about because, at first, we had wheels
and the wheels could not support the weight of the batteries and the handy
board. Skanky also comprised of a claw that relied on two servos
that opened it and lifted it. That's about it.
-STRATEGY
Our
strategy was to turn 45 degrees, after deciding what side we're on, go
forward until we hit the wall, and wall follow until we found a ball. Then
the claw would snap and we would backup for about 2 seconds, make a 90 degree
turn (again, based on the side we started on), and go forward until we found
the middle plane. Unfortunately, we did not have a light sensor to
indicate the ball's color, so we ended up scoring for the other team during
the contest.
