Introduction

• We, Sir John A., Introduce to you The Fugitive.
  This robot was conceived and produced by our
  robotics teams two portions, Strategy, and
  Power Train.

10
Strategy

• This year we were presented with a challenge that
  our strategy team was very eager to solve. A 6
  3 goal box with increased point value along with
  increased challenge.

11
Strategy
This challenge was met by creating a 63 jack.
From the start this was our goal and idea, but
having it work in theory and practice are two
different things.
12
Strategy
As loosely depicted here, our first idea was to
raise the jack using a threaded rod.
13
Strategy
But unfortunately, as things happen, our idea
wasnt going to work. The rods we had for the
idea wouldnt bring the jack up fast enough with
the servo we were using, and we couldnt get a
rod threaded the way we needed it.
14
Strategy
Our new Idea was to place A servo on a fixed end
of the jack (where depicted), and have the other
end on closet door sliders, so it could move.
15
Strategy
Now that we had figured out how to get the balls
up to the 63 goal, there left but one more
problem, how do we get the balls into our jack?
What will we use to pick-up balls? At the same
time that half the strategy team was working on
the jack the other half was busy creating an arm.
16
Strategy
Almost from the start what we were going to use
for our arm was obvious. The only real
misconception was the high of the Power Train
and the actual size of the arm.
17
Strategy
The actual workings of the arm is simple. The
servo is attached to a threaded rod with a nut
on it. The servo turns the rod which turns
the nut back and forth.
18
Strategy
The nut has a L shaped piece of metal welded
onto it. This opens and closes scissors-like
Pieces of metal that are directly attached to
two Fingers in the shape of hoops that will fit
around a ball.
19
Strategy
After the arms recalculation and construction
it was mounted where originally planned and
pulled up and down with a servo and pulley
system.

Conclusion
In conclusion, this year with our excellent team
and robot we believe that we will achieve
victory on the Mounds Of Menace over our
Opponents. We have a team that works well
Together and knows The Fugitive very well.
