Abstract:

This project outlines the design, construction, and programming of a robot that can pick up and stack objects. The robot can locate the mobile goals autonomously and stack the cones on top of these mobile goals. A cone stacking mechanism will be constructed to create the highest stack of cones reaching over one meter off the ground.This report will outline the process of selecting the cone stacking mechanism, the claw, the mobile goal mechanism, and the autonomous capabilities of the robot.
