What do I mean by this? Well, my team and I decided on going forward on our plans to create a 120 pound vertical spinner. To do this we would have to create a monetary budget, and weight budget as well as a design. The problem encountered was that the materials in our design plan would depend on the budget and our budget couldn't be created until we had a plan. It's safe to say we were stuck in quite a hole.
Fear not! While at the shop, we found an empty shell of a past robot. Shocker, was its name. The shape is hexagonal with one end elongated. Every edge is slanted so as to serve as a wedge. The old motors are still in the robot and work but we're almost certain we'll be replacing them. Originally, Shocker was a drum but it'll be re-purposed to fit our plans. I'm excited, the team is excited, and we finally have a jumping point to start off of.
