Today we worked from 1-4 and added the hood to our robot. The hood is used to help direct the ball into the goal. We needed to keep the hood within the 18 by 18 parameters and to do so we needed it to be folding. Since the hood sat on a hinge it could move up and down. Using a rubber band, we made the hood able to pop out. Our starting position would require the hood to sit on the outside of the upper intake. Due to the grip of the chain it would stay there. The hood would then release as soon as the intake moves due to the tension of the rubber band.
