Our Robot: Armstrong
For this FTC Season, we named our robot Armstrong since he has a ‘strong arm’ to grab onto the Lander. In autonomous, Armstrong lowers himself to the field then unlatches himself from the Lander. On the Depot side of the field, he samples minerals and drops off our Team Marker. On the Crater side of the field, he samples and parks touching the crater.
In tele-op, with his Scoring Arm, Armstrong can score in the around 6-8 minerals in the lander. If something happens to the arm, Armstrong can score in the depot, generally scoring around four to six minerals. During end game, Armstrong latches onto the lander and pulls himself up and off the field. If anything goes wrong, he can ark by the crater, if necessary.
