Team 639: Dr. Swoosh
 
I think the video speaks for its self, but...



Features:
  • Wide frame for triple balancing
  • Incredibly sticky treads for insane pushing power
  • Supershifters for speed
  • Ability to traverse the barrier
  • Won't slip on the bridge
  • Polycord based Acquisition system powered by 1 PG71 motor
  • 4 CIMs on drive so we do the pushing
  • 4 Banebot RS-550's on the shooter in Double Doozys
  • Uses IR camera on Kinect in conjunction with a Beagleboard (small linux computer) to do rangefinding
  • Bridge lowering doubles as a gate to mitigate unwanted penalties from accidentily collecting too many balls
  • Will get into a pushing match with any other robot out there and win
  • First underweight robot in 6 years from Code Red
  • Named "Dr. Swoosh"

We will be competing at FLR and DC. See Y'all there!

Are you actually expecting many pushing matches/defense?

Not near the key, but on the barrier. Though, looking through week 0 videos, they may be less likely than we had anticipated. Regardless, being able to push through other robots is always a nice utility to have!

Looks great! The RoboBees are looking forward to seeing you all in DC!

I must admit that the robot looks quite win this year. Seriously stoked for FLR.
