FIRST Robotics - a few silly things from the season

One day I had to move the robot, practice robot and field elements from one building to another.  This is not ideal packing but it was only a few blocks on a nice winter day.  Jed Clampett Movers.

Its a long story but our team now has a huge box of duct tape.  Multi year supply.  You find it all over our workspace now.



Field element and game pieces stacked to form some kind of idol or totem.  The cryptic logo on the front is basically a tag that the robot can read and center on.

 

We have one person driving the machine and another who operates the arm.  Said arm has multiple preset positions.  Push the button and the arm goes to the correct location.  Here's version 1.0 of the button module.  Note the button spot on the upper left....


The final version left this off.  FIRST has some traces of humor but does not approve of anything destructive.....
