Brainstorming

=**__Concept Development (Verification and Validation Plans)__**=

**Verification Plan- These are some of the major restrictions/rules/resources that our robot must adhere to:**
-4 servos (remember servos are for fine movements, not for power or torque) -2 Large motors, 2 small motors -2 x 2 x 2 feet maximum size at the beginning of the match. -Cannot exceed 24 pounds. -Mostly working with wood or light metal, don't envision using heavy/sophisticated materials.

Validation Plan - These are the objectives we want to accomplish with our robot
Note: These are just suggestions, your brainstorming design do not have to necessarily accomplish all these tasks...but we certainly want you to try, or maybe even exceed these suggestions.

-ability to grab all objectives. -possibility of grabbing multiple objects at once -maximum rotation and motion flexibility
 * Claw**

-able to reach a maximum range of 55 inches (4 1/2 ft) -be able to score NAND transistors into the NAND container at stage 1 -able to reach short distances also for objectives that are close up, such as the hangers -360 degrees arm rotation.
 * Arm**

Notes:

-**Flexibility**: we want all parts of the robot to have flexibility for the driver, allowing leeway for errors during the competition. They will have a much easier time if they don't have to take much time aiming for objectives during the matches.

- **Sustainability**: This robot will go through almost a dozen matches potentially, the design needs to be solid and not fall apart easily, especially if the arm has to reach great distances (which it will have to)

-**Simplicity**: The simpler the robot, the easier it is to fix, operate, and build, along with less chances of failing during the competition.


 * NOTE THE VERIFICATION PLAN AGAIN!!** Do not make a design that needs more than the resources that are available to us!
