This years robot has a slide on slide mechanism with a single arm functionality on both sides. We have the ability to deliver in the high basket and high rung.
Our robot’s foundation is based off the GoBilda Stafer Chassis but has been slightly modified to accommodate a wider wheelbase for stability. The widened wheelbase also gave us more flexibility on mounting points for things like control/expansion hubs. Our intake and deposition system is a front-facing double claw, accompanied by a 2 stage linear slide. We found this most optimal, as it reduced error from a separate intake, and simplified the whole robot. The whole slide + claw system is mounted in between 2 towers, built to support the motors for the slide, as well as accommodate a motor to vertically pivot the slide. The drone launcher is mounted beside the linear slide and attached to the lever. That gives us the ability to lift the drone launch to the perfect angle that provides us the precision to launch our drone. We are proud of our robot and the hard work that has gone into making it what it is today. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for our robot.
