\"\u00dcberclocker\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00dcberclocker Remix<\/em><\/p>\n

As my first fully new build in a few years, \u00dcberclocker is the bot that features as much of my current engineering skillset as possible. Based on a classic “clamp-bot” design, the goal is to exercise total control over the opponent by the simple merit of suspending them off the ground. A large pronged fork with an overhead secondary fork allows for trapping, and subsequent control of the opponent.<\/p>\n

To overcome the problem of tipping when an opponent is suspended from the forks, \u00dcberclocker features spring-loaded front support legs. Having these forward supports sprung means the robot will not lose traction when it grips an opponent; rather, it will simply shift forward onto the front wheels. \u00dcberclocker is designed for the new 30 Pound Sportsmans class<\/a>, which was formed to encourage innovation instead of pursuing terminal designs with outrageous budgets.<\/p>\n

The bot was upgraded significantly for the 2012 competition season<\/a>, and is now retired.<\/p>\n
