FRC team 225, TechFire, is proud to present our 2015 robot, Phoenix. The robot builds double stacks and RC caps.

Specs:

Drive
- 6” mecanum wheels, driven by CIMs through Vex clamping gearboxes with a total reduction of 9:1 before the wheel
- Gyro correction for mecanum movement

Arm
- Four bar
- Powered by 2 CIMs through VersaPlanearies, a RAW box, and a sprocket reduction for a total reduction of 852:1
- Hardened steel hex shaft to help prevent axle twisting
- Custom clutch for decoupling the arm to return the robot to transport configuration at the end of the match

Gripper
- Detachable pins for transport configuration
- Clamping and tote-interlocking forks
- 7” and 10” pneumatic cylinders allow gripper to have 4 different positions for differently sized and oriented objects

Canburglar (keeps changing every competition)
