Smack Pusher

Team members: Jonathan Bredin (r), Rob Fitch (l).

Robot strategy: Smack into walls to align itself in one linear dimension and in orientation, and push home one food at a time. This robot also used wheels at its periphery for compliant motion. Transmission is differential drive (one motor directly coupled to each wheel). The robot does not trap food; the food does not slide out of its ``grasp'' during turns.
