The bot!

Alright, a quick update for all of our devoted followers. We have completed all the components, and are currently fine tuning them and conducting testing in the arena.  The following pictures show our progress!

This is our top-bot, the just after its assembly

Another view of the top-bot, further testing showed we
needed to adjust the wheels and plow.

All the major components are mounted to the frame, with
exception of the conveyor.  We completed wiring over the
weekend

This is our limit switch, it once the conveyor system is
dropped, the conveyor belt motor turns on (switch closes
the circuit)

The six speed motor mounted, and
attached to the rack and pinion

These are our conveyor fame pieces, the preliminary lay-up
for the belt is also shown

Here is how we will be powering the conveyor belt, the motor
 output will be constrained by a brace and bushing

A overview of all the components

The finalized top bot.  The wheels have sandpaper and the
plow has a rod mounted to prevent balls from sticking 

The slot-bot and all its relative components

This is our new conveyor belt system!
