Our last robot introduction is the Engineer. As the only support robot on the field, the Engineer must be versatile enough to perform multiple defensive and offensive tasks. One of the tasks of the Engineer is retrieving 200 mm cubes in the middle of the field that can be redeemed for perks during the game, like a drone launch. This necessitates an efficient lifting and grabbing system.
Another task is reviving defeated robots. A towing system needs to be in place to bring a defeated robot to the regeneration zone where it can be revived. Defensively, the engineer must also be able to move in-game "obstacle blocks" to protect the team’s base and make entry more difficult.
