Team 5012 Offseason Reveal
Team 5012 Gryffingear is proud to present our offseason improvements to our robot, Mischief!
Reveal video! ![]() Mischief has seen quite a few iterations this season, but we're particularly excited about our offseason changes. Sitting atop the season's drivetrain and intake systems is an all new superstructure for ball elevation and high goal shooting. The superstructure uses 1/2" plywood, 2x4s, and Vex Versaframe components(especially 2x1 Polycarbonate tubing!!) extensively to allow us to rapidly iterate and tweak the system. The superstructure is outfitted with a Vex EDR Bumper switch to automatically stage the ball consistently before each shot, a photointerruptor connected to the Talon SRX to control shooter velocity, a photon cannon for assisting the drivers in alignment, and a Pixy for automatic vision tracking. See Mischief compete at Chezy Champs this weekend and Battle at the Border on October 15! |

That robot is awesome. My team is working on a few upgrades for our bot too.
Hopefully we'll get all the upgrades built and functioning correctly in time for battle at the boarder. We going to add flippy floppy arm with a spinning drum at the front of the robot for an intake system, fix up the bumpers to make them legal, and Add the ability to shoot high goals(maybe). |

The pixy was really easy to get set up. You can tune the pixy offboard the robot using pixymon. Once we had that all tuned, we were successfully tracking the target within an hour of mounting it to the robot. |

This never ended up being used on the competition field at Chezy Champs due to us pivoting to a ramp camp shot at the base of the batter that was a lot easier and faster for our drivers to hit. It was a pesky measurement error in translating rev 1's shooter exit angle to CAD for rev 2 that wasn't caught until after we had cut the plates for rev 2. Measurement was 30 deg from vertical, CAD was 30 deg from horizontal! Ended up working out in the end, but expect to see one more big revision for Battle at the Border in a few weeks... |
