This year's robot, a few hours prior to bagging. We are very proud of what it can do!
Features:
-Abec 11 longboard wheels for the launcher, powered by two BAG motors, attached to VersaPlanetary gearboxes with 4:1 and 1:1 reductions.
-Scores four discs consistently from positions around the base of the pyramid in the 3 and 2 point goals.
-12 points in autonomous.
-10 point hang achieved in less than one second via passive "wings" made of HDPE.
-84" tall "Angelic Wall" that can be installed for defensive play.
-Robust design with minimal moving parts; few things to fail=consistent on-the-field performance.
-Cool purple to bronze iridescent Lexan shielding, courtesy PlastiCare.

Thanks to our sponsors and mentors! We really appreciate all you put into this project. The kids couldn't have done it without you!
