Size
The Beast just barely fits within the 3' by 3' by 4' limit set by the Competition
Rules. At full vertical extension, the top of the tower is about 10 feet tall.
With the wrist joint fully flexed, the tip of our grippers ar over 14 feet tall.
Weight
At inspection we weighed in at 119.8 pounds. One of the engineering problems we
encountered (as did many teams) is being able to make our robot as stable as
possible. The combination of a steel frame, aluminum tower and wrist, grippers
with an aluminum skin and Rohacell core, and a well positioned counterbalace gave
the Beast a large degree of stability for the competition.
Speed
Our robot has the ability to shift the drive motors from low speed/high power to
high speed/low power. This gives us the versatility to be both offensive and
defensive.
