Old to New

                                      Today, 4322 is going to talk about the life of Jiggles.

     He started as a 4 by 4 square bot( phase 1). It has grown into a robot capible of getting into finals twice. We added two long arms that could capture a bowling ball.( Phase 2)

      We then removed them and added a conveyor belt however it was slanted and wasted space. The bot then got a scissor lift. We made the first major rebuild with a strait conveyor, the "tomahawk" arm, and the scissor lift. We used this until after Los Angeles.
      We then did our second major rebuild. we made a new, more efficient conveyor belt, and a larger scissor lift. The bot did well until the finals in San Diego. We are now starting our third major renovation. We are making a stronger lift, and a flap to keep crates on the lift.
