Our Design Concept

Our concept for the Slot Bots competition employs the two arm approach. One arm will extend to lock the flipper arm in the open position. Another are will use a sweeping motion to push the balls into the open slot. A third arm will act to block the other team from reaching the funnel. This arm will be able to move from one side of the table to the other, forcing an opposing team to either get to the other side faster or find a way to drive over the arm. Below two views of our design. The first is a three dimensional view of the bot. The second is how the bot will function on the playing table.
