Moved wheels and tried to get on platform

What we did today:
Lindsey took off all the wheels and moved them lower on the base so the robot is now able to
drive onto the platform. She also attempted to drive onto the platform, but the robot tipped over.


Next steps...
  • We need to add weight to the bottom of the robot so it won't tip over
    • or we could take off the top of the ball shooter to make it lighter and smaller on top
  • We also need to fix the ball shooter and make it a dual fly wheel shooter



Other resources:
Here is a video that we were thinking of basing our shooter off of. It is better than our current design because the ball rolls into the shooter instead of being lifted up to it. We will lift up the ball at first, then it will roll down the ramp to the shooter.

Resources for other VEX robots:
Here are code templates that include the autonomous one so we can use that in competition.
