599 Vex Round_up Mentor Bobcat: Autonomous Low Hang Test.AVI

Off season Vex Roundup test robot performs a simple 25 step programming challenge in my living room. It culminates in a low hang (all of robot above 6 in).

Robot uses the new cortex with RobotC. The new Vex 2 wire 393 motors are used on the lifts. Two legacy motors are used for the drive in 1:1 gearing so it is a little slow (about 10 in/s max speed). It has two sonic rangers, a servo operated goal approach spacing arm,a three position servo grip, three line sensors, two quadrature encoders ,4 limit switches and two button switches. So all the cortex discretes are used plus most of the analog inputs. There are two legacy motors in reserve. Robot is designed to do a high hang (wheels above 18 in) ..but this needs a little more work because of unexpected slide friction.
