We know we have built up a name for ourselves in the state of Michigan, but it means a lot to us to know that people outside the state who rarely see us think highly of us as well. We are glad to be competing at the World Championship and we are ready to play against the best of the best here in Curie!
Some robot stuff:
Name: Velociraptor
Drivetrain: Holomonic, four 8" mecanums powered by one CIM each.
Appendage: Double articulating arm
End effector: Belt driven roller claw with the ability to rotate tubes
Minibot: 1.5 second climb, our deployment system may change beforehand.
Our robot was geared for about 15ft/sec free speed, so it's around 11-12ft/sec. We generally hang six tubes a match, making two logos on the top row or one logo on top and one on the middle, depending on our partners. The most tubes we have hung in a match is eight. Our roller claw is a tube magnet and can pick up tubes in almost any way imaginable. Performance wise, we set the high score at both the Waterford District(100-3) and Ann Arbor District(114-1).
