DESTINATION: DEEP SPACE 2019

Interstellar

Interstellar is designed with a modified kit of parts frame to accomplish the game’s endgame mechanic. Interstellar uses two pneumatic actuators to open and close uniquely designed grippers. The notched gripper would be placed inside the center of hatch panels from the feeder station and expand to pick up the hatch panel to be placed. The same gripper would squeeze cargo to place into the first and second level of the cargo hold and rocket ship. At the end of the match, Interstellar’s unique frame would use 4 timed worm gear motors to lift its inner body to the top HAB platform. After lifting, Interstellar would then drive its body onto the HAB and lift its bumpers off the ground to complete its ascent.
