Chassis:
2" x 1" x 0.125" Rectangular aluminum frame setup for six wheel West Coast Drive.
1" x 1" x 0.1" Square aluminum upper chassis & tool mounting frame.
6 CIM motor drive on two speed WCP transmissions.
4" wheel drive speeds
Low = 5.5 feet per second
High = 15 feet per second
Shooter:
1" x 1" x 0.1" Square aluminum catapult arms with Lexan ball holder
Two - 10" Bimba 1-1/2" bore pneumatic cylinders
Two - Nitra 0.78Cv pneumatic solenoids
Six - Clippard 574ml air tanks (4)high pressure (2)low pressure - one for each cylinder
Collector:
2" x 1" x 0.125" Rectangular aluminum arm. Hard stopped to restrict reach to 19.75".
MiniCIMs on 10:1 VersaPlanentary gearboxes
4" wheels on 3d printed wheel adapters

Fast floor retrieval with variable position robot to robot and floor passing modes.
Able to score in the low goal with collector as well as the catapult if needed.
Catapult high goal shooting range is from 5 to 25 feet while stationary, over 30' on the move.
Lexan side wings with Lexan hinges for damping the ball momentum while catching.
Two axis servo controlled camera for Hot Goal detection and shot targeting.
Multiple ball autonomous available upon request!!

Our Aerial Assist robot features many 3d printed parts.
Various thickness of 1/2" hex spacers. Hex to wheel adapters.
Denso window motor to 1/2" hex axel adapters.
Pneumatic Storage tank clips, two types! One like the standard available clip.
The other, a Tiki Tech original, tank to tank clips. Makes stacking multiple Cippard tanks a breeze!

Oh yeah a few LED's through the hand tinted Lexan chassis covers.

Good Luck & Aloha!
