Summary:

The robot is a simple, effective solution to Lunacy. We can move around the field very quickly, pick up very quickly, and then score very quickly. That was the goal way back in early January, to make the quickest robot we could. The chassis is very simple and achieves all of its desired goals. The conveyor is very efficient and eliminates several problems without adding any subsystems. The electronics is allowed plenty of space so is therefore very easy to access and very easy to wire. While none of these components is in of its self complicated or difficult, Aristotle once said, "The whole is more than the sum of its parts."
