Our strategy in this game was to be able to hang at least one uber-tube in autonomous, be able to pick up tubes off of the ground and hang them as quickly as possible. We could also launch a minibot onto the racing pole and have it climb the pole in roughly two seconds.

Our robot, Skunk.I.Am, was capable of hanging tubes on all three levels of the scoring rack. The end effector, or scoring mechanism on the robot was a pneumatic "popper." Using pneumatics, the end effector could push the tube onto the peg. We also built several types of minibots for the end-game. The final mini-bot could be launched onto the pole, attach with a magnet and drive up the pole with direct drive wheels.
