The figures above are the first design that was attached in front of the robot. The plow was supposed to help the robot push the opponent easier and defend its own wheels. However, the plow didn't meet the requirement for the competition, size-wise.
The group created another plow. As shown in the figures above, the plow now has two empty spaces, which will trap the opponent's wheels. In the group's final design, the plow will be connected to a motor and a touch sensor, so when the sensor is touched, the plow can lift up the wheels of the other robot, which will make the opponent powerless. This is the group's strategy, and during the lab in Week 6, the group will work on the code that can make this strategy very effective.
