Meet Norris

The final product for the eWeek competition was Norris, inspired by Chuck Norris. Actually it was inspired by Team 1902 Exploding Bacon (FIRST Robotics). The point of the competition is to drive around a 2 level course, collecting the most colored balls and returning them to your homebase before time, about 3 minutes, expires. A street sweeper method was employed with this design and the robot kept the balls in its carrage rather than dropping off the balls at homebase every so often.
