This years robot, MORBIT, can shoot and herd moonrocks, empty cells, and super cells. It has a 26" diameter hopper that can store approximately 10 balls. To prevent jams we have a "blender" in our hopper that constantly stirs the balls. In addition, the bottom surface of our hopper is made of the Lunacy playing surface, regolith. Our shooting mechanism (named "the shnoob") is a traction wheel that compresses the balls against an upper plate and shoots them at varying distances. The shnoob can also be reversed so that we may obtain empty cells. Our hopper and shooter our one structure driven by 2 gears and a globe motor. It is all mounted on a delrin bearing and delrin supports for minimal friction. Our drive train consists of 2 cim motors, 2 toughboxes, and 4 wheels.
Our robot's name is a combination of our team name MorTorq and the game objects, orbit balls. Also, the "Bit" in MORBIT can be expanded to MorBallsInTrailer.
