PinTex (180 Bot)

This robot uses a 180-degree arm that holds two stacks of two and places them onto a beam. The beam is then lifted to create a "Y" stack. It is difficult to drive but is a simple yet effective build.

PinTex uses 6 Motors. It uses pneumatics as well. On the drivetrain, it uses 2 motors for a 2:1 gear ratio, and on the arm designated to the beam, it uses 2 motors for a 1:5 ratio. On the other arm used for picking up pins, it uses 2 motors for a 3:5 ratio. It uses 4 pneumatic pistons, 2 for the pin claw and 2 for the beam claw. PinTex can perform every aspect of the match except for the "121 point stack." (A "cactus" stack on the standoff goal.)
