Are you looking for a starting place for the 2021-2022 VEX IQ Challenge Pitching In game? Well if you are, there are lots of options.
Fling is the 2021-2022 Hero Robot which is designed to play the game. It has a catapult arm which can also lift the robot and a rubber band intake. It is also the base robot for the VIQC Virtual Skills game
If you have a younger team or you are looking for an easier build, there is Slick, which is a bulldozer robot. Slick will work well for pushing balls into the lower goal.
If you have the VEX IQ 2nd generation Classroom kit you can start with the BaseBot.
And add a plow to it.
For more details on the plow see the manipulators video in the Robot Soccer STEM lab
Or a Balloon Tire intake.
Or add a Rubber Band intake.
For more details on the Balloon Tire or the Rubber Band intakes see the Intake design video in the Robot Soccer STEM lab
You could also use the VEX IQ 2nd gen Simple ClawBot.
With the exception of Fling, all of the other designs may need additional iterations in order to effectively play the Pitching In game. But isn’t that what the design cycle is all about?
