If you are not reading this, the terrorists are winning...(aka strategy and concept selection) Top Secret

Strategy: Score and Cover

  1. Step One: Using a simple design, we will quickly score and then cover the opponents hole, before they even get moving. Yes it will be that fast.
  2. Step Two: Victory. What else did you expect?
Concept selection:
  1. Our concept is centered around the same idea of our strategy: Simple is king. By using a simple machine we can focus on robust design and manufacturing to ensure repeatability and accuracy. Our three modules are the frame, drivetrain and ball harvesting system. 

    1. Frame: A lightweight, sturdy design that is angled in the back to ensure solid anchoring. The back end of the machine has hooks that will lock us into the opponents hole. 
    2. Drivetrain: Dual gear box with direct axles to rubber coated wheels. This will ensure extreme maneuverability. 
    3. The ball collection system: This will include a shutter that holds the balls in during turning and travel and beads within the collection area that will reduce friction between the balls and the machine.
  2. Check the photos yo. Resistance is futile.
