This team is responsible for the design of the robot manipulators, or the components attached to the drive train such as arms, containers, etc. The manipulator team will use the strategies and concepts discussed during the planning sessions to design, prototype, and build the necessary manipulators for this year's game. The Manipulator team works closely with the Drive Train Team to create a complete 3D CAD model of the robot using Autodesk Inventor, and assure that all parts fit together. Members of this team will learn the basics of design, and will become familiar with the the tools needed to machine and assemble parts for the robot. The Manipulator team will work in conjunction with the Drive Train, Wiring, and Pneumatics, and Software Development teams throughout the build season to accommodate each sub-team's needs for a fully functional robot.
