10. Introduction We, Sir John A., Introduce to you ‘The Fugitive’. This robot was conceived and produced by our robotics team’s two portions, ‘Strategy’, and ‘Power Train’.

11. Strategy This year we were presented with a challenge that our strategy team was very eager to solve. A 6’ 3” goal box with increased point value along with increased challenge.

12. Strategy This challenge was met by creating a 6’3” jack. From the start this was our goal and idea, but having it work in theory and practice are two different things.

13. Strategy As loosely depicted here, our first idea was to raise the jack using a threaded rod.

14. Strategy But unfortunately, as things happen, our idea wasn’t going to work. The rods we had for the idea wouldn’t bring the jack up fast enough with the servo we were using, and we couldn’t get a rod threaded the way we needed it.

15. Strategy Our new Idea was to place A servo on a fixed end of the jack (where depicted), and have the other end on closet door sliders, so it could move.

16. Strategy Now that we had figured out how to get the balls up to the 6’3” goal, there left but one more problem, how do we get the balls into our jack? What will we use to pick-up balls? At the same time that half the strategy team was working on the jack the other half was busy creating an arm.

17. Strategy Almost from the start what we were going to use for our arm was obvious. The only real misconception was the high of the Power Train and the actual size of the arm.

18. Strategy The actual workings of the arm is simple. The servo is attached to a threaded rod with a nut on it. The servo turns the rod which turns the nut back and forth.

19. Strategy The nut has a L shaped piece of metal welded onto it. This opens and closes scissors-like Pieces onto it. This opens and closes scissors-like Pieces of metal that are directly attached to two Fingers in the shape of hoops that will fit around a ball.

20. Strategy After the arm’s recalculation and construction it was mounted where originally planned and pulled up and down with a servo and pulley system.

21. Conclusion In conclusion, this year with our excellent team and robot we believe that we will achieve victory on the ‘Mounds Of Menace’ over our Opponents. We have a team that works well Together and knows ‘The Fugitive’ very well.
