2102 Team Paradox 2020 Robot Reveal

Team 2102 is proud to present our 2020 robot: Orion

Be sure to check our our reveal video:

General Mechanisms:

  • 44.5” starting configuration height
  • Custom Raspberry Pi-driven vision tracking
  • 111 total bearing on the robot
  • Backspin shooter with two 6” Colson wheels driven by two 775Pros
  • Full width Ground pickup for power cells
  • A total of 14 motors
  • Using pure pursuit to follow auto paths
  • Robot weighs 125 lbs
  • Robot dimensions are 28in by 32in

Specific Mechanisms:

Chassis:

  • 6 pneumatic wheels, 4 NEO chain-driven west coast drive, tank drive
  • 12 ft/sec top speed

Indexer:

  • Design based on teams 6135’s hopper design.
  • Runs on a 775 motor on a 7:1 Versaplanetary
  • Runs all on timing belts and pulleys to drive the mechanism and transport Power Cells

Throat :

  • 775pro driven 7:1 custom gearbox
  • Securely holds 3 power cells
  • Crown pulley driven pulley belts
  • Smart detection of when to run, uses beam break sensors

Intake:

  • Over-bumper power cell intake delivers to the indexer
  • Pneumatic-driven deployment
  • Motor-driven active rollers
  • Outtake capabilities
  • Mecanum wheels increase intaking width

Elevator for climbing:

  • 1 stage continuous elevator
  • 2 Neo motors
  • ~1 second climb
  • Hooks deploy as the elevator raises, includes hole for safety pins
  • 60lb constant tension springs
  • Automatic limits
  • Time locked release

Turret:

  • 60 degree range of motion
  • Raspberry Pi automatic aiming vision processing
  • Driven by neo 550

Shooter:

  • Using Smart feeding to only shoot when shooter is at speed during tele-op and shoots when turret is aligned when in autonomous
    • Range of shot is 14-30 feet
  • Uses PID to guarantee consistent shots

Control panel mechanism:

  • Using built-in encoder to auto rotate 3-5 turns
  • 4in compliant wheel

Autonomous:

  • Uses pure pursuit to follow paths
  • PID tuning for drive train and shooter
  • 3 different autos
    • Trench run- 6 Power Cells
    • Center field- 5 Power Cells
    • For right- 5 Power Cells
  • Vision processing to track power cells

Slick robot! I’m a fan of your hook setup.

How are you getting your intake to bounce up when intaking power cells? Are you just lowering the air pressure sent to the piston on the extension?

:eyes: Nice robot guys, definitely the cleanest looking one yet. Looking forward to seeing everyone @ LA.

We have torsion springs to assist the pistons in raising the intake, and relatively weak pistons.

huh… looks familiar

Sure it’s an archer and not a horseman?

Wow that video was gorgeous. The robot looks excellent, the song was a bop, and the editing was clean as heck.
Good luck this season!
