Session 4: Axel, the Hero Bot

Hero Bots are designed by VEX engineers each year to play the Competition. The Hero Bot design changes from year to year depending on the game, so the Hero Bot for the VRC game High Stakes is Axel.

The Hero Bot is just a starting point for your robot’s design.  It allows you to quickly build a robot and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses.  You can then modify the design or start over with a completely new build.

Watch the video explaining how the bot is designed:

Assignment:

Build Axel using the instructions below.  If you are missing parts, then you should try to figure out what the part is there to do and find a substitute part to accomplish the same purpose.
