Code Name: Little Mermaid
Status: Completed, Operational
Features: There were 2 versions of this year's robot. The first version had two 'arms' to reach out and grab the ball, then transport it around the field. It also had a pnuematic cylendar to remove the balls from the overpass.(Not Shown...)
Base and Arm picture is below:
The second version of the robot had a launching device to throw the balls over the overpass. The dislodging device was changed to be a 'flap' that was driven under the goals.
Picture below:
Drivetrain: The traditional TRC 6 wheel drivetrain using chains rather then belts as the 2007 robot had.
History: The Little Mermaid led the TRC to be a seed at both the Seattle and the Portland Competitions. At both events, the TRC was eliminated after the Quarter-Final round. Best of all,Mnemosyne will be re-usable for robot demos in the future.
