Robot Overview
The 2015 robot (Big Red) consisted mainly of one elevator as the workhorse mechanism standing (height) inches (-- feet) tall, lifting and stacking totes with the 'hook' on the carriage. The name came from it's very bright red powdercoating on all parts and because of how tall the elevator was, making it a large and unwieldy robot to move around.

Fabrication Process
This robot design marked the start of Team Paradox's use of the common 2x1 aluminum extrusion as the basis for most of the chassis parts, and only included 2 wood pieces for the gearbox mounts in the final design. Most chassis pieces were lined with #7 drilled holes every 1" to be tapped to 1/4"-20 and were cnc milled on the Tormach PCNC using CAMWorks, while some were easier done or finished on one of the manual mills as the swiss-cheesing could be done with a 1-1/8" end mill. The tapping was painstakingly done by a freshman on a drill press using an ancient drill press tapping head that made the undertaking much easier, but also led to some holes becoming stripped.
