Team #3930

Bowser is about 38 inches from front to back, and about 28 inches wide, a great size to fit on the bridge with the other robots! We were able to meet with other teams during the build season to practice balancing, and found that with good communication between the drivers of each robot we could work together to achieve the balance happen. Our team has a plan to make that happen as well, which we will share in our alliances! Bowser is also 4.5 feet tall, under the legal limit, which lowers his center of gravity, allowing him to maneuver more easily. Its weight of 120 lbs. is all muscle and no fluff, it is sturdy and can resist attack from other robots trying to push it around.

One of its many features is the arm, our drivers use the arm to lower the bridge, enabling not only itself to board the bridge but other robots in the alliance as well. Bowser is built on 8 wheels, linked with chain and powered by 4 CIM motors. The front of the frame is built at a 45 degree angle, raising the front wheel on each side to enable driving over the barrier. Bowser is capable of shooting 3 point baskets from anywhere on the court, but its success is most consistent from “in the paint”.
It’s our rookie year, but we have made great strides, give us a chance and be amazed at what we can do!!
