We chose the S-Bot design because it offers significantly higher efficiency and has a proven, reliable track record throughout the season across many competitive teams. Its consistent performance in real competition showed that the design is not only effective in theory, but dependable under pressure. By selecting a system that has already demonstrated success, we reduced risk, improved reliability, and gave our team a strong foundation to build and innovate on.
With improvement come tradeoffs of course. Because of the brand new design, we had to fully dissasemble, which was covered in our last post. There will also be a ton of iteration in the design, because there is almost no chance it will work on our first try. However, these tradeoffs will be majorly worth it if our new design succeeds.
Here is just one example of a team (SnackyCakes) who employed this design and given just some of their statistics, you can see how effective it is:
