THE ROBOT
Our robot features various innovative design initiatives to effectively & efficiently complete this season's task. We consistently strive to one-up ourselves and make a robot that is representative of our collective ability.
Join us as we outline our endeavors to engineer this robot to become the best it can be!
OUR ROBOTIC INNOVATIONS
Odometry-Enabled Drivetrain
Odometry-Enabled Drivetrain
Odometry-Enabled Drivetrain
Our drivetrain makes use of three odometry pods from Optii to accurately track the position of the robot across the field. Using this data, we can use Roadrunner to create accurate motion profiling paths for our robot during autonomous.
Drone Launcher
Odometry-Enabled Drivetrain
Odometry-Enabled Drivetrain
Our drone launcher uses an innovative design to adjust its angle for the optimal drone launch. The robot performs kinematic equations on the fly, then adjusts the drone launcher to the appropriate angle to correct for minor positional adjustments.
Intake
Odometry-Enabled Drivetrain
Intake
Our robot's intake features an innovative spring mechanism combined with linked rollers to intake pixels in an efficient, consistent manner. The spring mechanism will latch onto the pixel, allowing it to slide up the ramp but not fall back down.
