Function :
The function of the gripper is to grab the factoid on the LOC tower. It attaches to a servo via piano wire that moves both fingers simultaneously to grab the PVC using its teeth to keep its grip.
Benefits to a BEST Robot:
The gripper allows the robot to grab and hold onto the factoid, opening the possibilities to score more points
Design Process:
We began with surface-level research on robot grippers, then we opened Fusion and developed a basic prototype to test tolerances and identify weak points. We then moved on to version 2, where we perfected the mechanism, then we started thinking about how it would attach to the robot (probably would have been smarter to do this sooner), made the necessary changes, which led us to the final product
