Team Profiles
Design*
We have a popular robot design that focuses on scoring points. We use a tray bot design. We did change the design from our original plan. Pictures below will show our current robot design. If you want to know more about our past designs you can ask us, look at past competition recordings, or ask us. For more information watch us in a competition to see how we perform, find us and ask!
*This website will have the most recent design of the robot. The information on here will be updated when the robot is. This will only happen when major changes are made. If there are small changes made only the photo and engineering notebook will be updated.*

Abilities*
Our robot can hold up to ten cubes. Being able to stack them all in the goal zones. With the ability to score and de-score all towers except the highest one in the middle of the field. We also have an autonomous. With the front (near the colored tiles) scoring 4-5 points and the back (near the alliance towers) scoring 5 points. But these are not very consistent so our programmer Isaac and driver Max are working new ones. Scoring the same amount of points and hopefully being more consistent. For more information watch us in competitions or ask us.

First Design
This was our robot's first design. It is made up of a reverse four bar lift with a cage-like design to hold the cubes with an intake made up of two motors. This was made during the robotics camp at Southland Schools. The robotics camp was one week long for those who were interested in robotics to see what its like and for returning members to get a jump start with the new game and learn new programming, building, and skills for the engineering notebook. The Rebelbots were put into a team including three new members, AJ, Henry, and Roman. This robot was taken to the Benton County Fair for our first tournament. We found out fairly quickly that it was great for scoring in towers but it didn't stack in the goals as well as we were hoping. After that competition our builders got to work on making a new robot with an all new design. This design was based off one of the robots who won the tournament, the tray bot design which focused on scoring cubes rather than putting cubes in towers.

Second Design
After the Benton county fair with the first robot we realized that scoring points would be more beneficial than scoring towers. We had looked into the tray bot design before but we decided against it. Seeing how well that design worked for others at the Benton county fair we decided that would help get to where we wanted to be. After much hard work our builders were able to pull of a complete transformation of our robot. Even adding their own little flare to make sure we didn't tip over: wheels, they pop out at the back of the robot to give it more stability. Being able to stack 8 cubes max at a time. This was paired with a autonomous that scored 5 points on the both front and back. This was in the process of being upgraded for better consistency.

Third Design
We stayed with our trusty tray bot design paired with the back wheels for more stability. No major things were changed but rather simple things like spacing. Even if it was the little things that were changed the robot was rebuilt rather than edited. Those small changes seem tedious and unimportant but it allowed us to 10 cubes max rather than 8. The autonomous had to be reprogrammed for the new robot but it does the same thing: scores 5 points in the front but we weren't able to reprogram the back autonomous before we built yet another whole robot.

Fourth Design
Our current design is the one featured above. Still not straying from the tray bot our builders rebuilt it yet again. Altering the drive train to be narrower and easier to maneuver has proven beneficial. Using high speed motors for the intake helping us score much faster. Re-positioning the anti-tip mechanism to the center of the robot has also helped making the robot more stable and narrow. We are still able to hold 10 cubes max and are currently working on the autonomous hopefully getting 5-6 points.
