Summary

Debbie competed in the 2015 FRC game Recycle Rush. It could pick up bins and totes by pinching them with its claw and raise them up using its arm. It could pick up totes from both the landfill and the human player station. It could also pick up bins from the step. It could stack up to five totes high and could cap a stack four totes high with a bin. During autonomous mode it drove into the auto zone. The drivetrain was controlled using arcade drive with a Mad Catz flightstick. The arm and claw were controlled with a Logitech XBox controller.
