Desing Team, build Team
Drive Team: Human player
This year was spent advancing my Cad skills, and my skills Designing in a practical and simple way. this was the year i felt i learned the most, failures this year informed my designing philosophy the next year and created and enforced my belief in mechanical simplicity.
This Was the worst year i was on the team with a highest compatition placement of 4th runners up int he comapition.
this is the fir design created by me that ended up on a robot. this is a climber designed to hook onto chain at the end of each match it has two motors, one on each side, to spin a pully in the middle. the main houseing is a set of tubes with constant force springs to pull the tubes apart. the rome and pully running up the center pull everything back down keeping the structure together.
our main robot for the year was on a swerve drive bace and consisted of three main parts, the intake, the indexer, and the shooter.
the intake was, as implied, an intake, it worked by wrapping silicone tubeing around polycarbonate tubeing, and useing that to grip onto the game peace of the year. long rollers pulled the game peaces through the robot to the indexer were the game peace was held untill it was time to shoot. the indexer was three rollers in the center of the bot whos sole porpose it was to hold the game peace. the shooter was two wheels that would grab the game peace on top and bottom and shoot it out of the robot. the indexer would wait for the wheels to ramp all the way up before pushing the balls into the flywheels.
