FRC 294, Beach Cities Robotics is proud to release the CAD for our 2024 robot: the Quaken!
Special thanks to 5026, 3019, 2659, 4322, 254, and 1323 for such incredible playoff runs!
We will be participating in one or two off season events in the LA area if you’d like to check out the robot in person and/or chat with the team. We’ll also be hosting an open house at our lab on 9/29 from 2-4pm if you’d like to see our lab setup.
Happy to answer any questions you may have!
Same weekend as Chezy Champs. Hosting a watch party?
We loved playing with you at AZ East. Once again, congrats on your amazing champs run!
294 is the real deal! Fantastic team to work with. Solid cycling but even greater defense that fit our alliance perfectly.
Super stoked we got to play with y’all. You can see in the background of the alliance selection webcast @Tom_Bottiglieri do a huge “f ya” fist pump when we knew we could snag you.
Excited to step through this CAD with our students.
Did you partially pick them because they matched the shade of blue of you guys and Madtown?
Assuming we hold the date (some movement is possible), that’s a great idea.
@Torrance : Appreciate the vote of confidence and the opportunity to play on the alliance. I just re-watched alliance selection 
The Newton playoff matches were especially fun strategically as we needed to make a key mid-match adjustment in every match to best support the alliance. I especially liked our 3 match battle against the #2 alliance, where our previous defense enabled us to “defend” while passing in the last match.
Sorry I’m a bit late to the party. What material did you guys use for your bellypan? BTW it was an absolute joy to play with you guys in Arizona AND Aerospace :D.
Hello! We used a fully wood bellypan initially since it made electronic mounting really simple and effective, but later found that due to how low our robot is the wood was being damaged on the back from the weight of the battery mounted there. So we ended up machining a new aluminum belly pan in two pieces, one piece for the back to go under the battery and one piece to replace the other 2/3 of the belly pan, but we didn’t end up installing the 2/3 piece.
To make a long story short, we used wood for 2/3 of the belly pan where we mounted most of the lighter electronics, aluminum for the other 1/3 on the back to support the battery.
It was awesome playing with you guys too! Always love going to events where you guys are!
Hello! I really like this robot!
I’m wondering how the 90 degree gearbox for the pivot is connected to the robot (as it seems to be floating in CAD). Does the side-plate extends down a bit to connect the gearbox?
Thanks in advance!
