The right panel components include five speed controllers which control the tower motors and the right side drive motors. There are also two fuse blocks which provide power to the robot components, and two spikes which control the opening and closing of the claw.
|
|
The left side panel includes two speed controllers for the left side drive motors, the radio, the robot controller, and two spike relays to control the shifters in the AndyMark gearbox and the air compressor.

Note: The radio is shown mounted here but is moved on the actual robot. It is shown on this panel for displaying purposes.

The robot, this year, used pneumatics for the opening and closing of the gripper system. Displayed is how the tubing is placed on the robot. The tubing will go down the tower, wrap around several times, and flow into the solenoids.
|
|
Tubing wraps around and into the mounted bracket in order to control the movement of the tubing and remove any unnecessary tubing that might get in the way with the competition.

The camera is mounted right next to the tower system on the left side of the robot (looking at it from the front). It remains mounted onto the chassis system by a manufactured bracket.

In the robot, the air compressor is attached to the chassis on the left side of the robot, in reference to the front of the robot. It is mounted by a manufactured bracket. The battery sits in the center-most place in the robot: in between the control panels and lies underneath the pieces of bosche that support the AndyMark shifters. There are two volume tanks located on the opposite side of the air compressor; they are also mounted by manufactured brackets.
