Team 1797 Phoenix Reveal

Greetings from London, UK! We are team 1797 Phoenix, officially a rookie team but made up mostly of experienced members from our school’s original team, 1884. Our team is primarily student-led and we are proud to present our school’s very first reveal video.

Drivetrain:
6 wheels - 4 outer pneumatic (8”), 2 offset traction (6”)
Originally intended to have 4 traction wheels but found the above configuration to be more effective.

Defense Capabilities:
Everything except low-bar (sally port/drawbridge require more driver/operator manipulation)
Defense arms are powered by 2 AM 2924 gear-motors with a 2:1 chain reduction.

Shooting:
High goal from both close and far away (preferred spot is right next to the batter)
Powered by mini-cim with 1:1 ratio.
Computer vision to auto-align robot to preferred shooting spots

Intake:
Bands powered by bag motor with 15:1 reduction
Intake wheels - BaneBot 2 7/8”

Good luck to all teams and see you in New York!
