Building a Vex Robot for High Stakes Competition

TLDRIn this video, we build a Vex robot for the high stakes competition, focusing on the drivetrain and intake mechanisms. Join us as we showcase our progress and discuss the key features of our robot.

Key insights

🔧The drivetrain is equipped with a six-motor 360 RPM system and 3.25-inch wheels, providing a solid foundation for the robot.

🤖The intake mechanism features a roller that can easily grab and lift the 2-inch rings, bringing them to the next stage.

👉Flaps on the intake mechanism help center the rings, ensuring a smooth and precise lifting process.

🔄The MoGo Mech is responsible for gripping the mobile goals and holding them securely during the competition.

🏆This robot is built with the high stakes competition in mind, with a focus on functionality and efficiency.
