FTC 12377 2024-25 Build Thread

This is the official build thread for FTC team 12377, Schrödinger’s Goats, for the INTO THE DEEP 2024-2025 season.

Week 1: 1/5/24

The CAD is complete, and parts are 3D printed. We will start building this week, contingent upon our final parts arriving.

This robot is entirely 3D printed, with structural components printed with PETG and gears, pulleys, etc. printed with PLA. Despite its longer print time and more fickle nature, we chose PETG as the structural material due to being much less brittle and prone to structural damage upon impact or bending.

The main features include:

  • Double-jointed arm mechanism
  • Passive specimen intake
  • 1" Hard wheel active sample intake
  • 1-second Level 2 Hang (hopefully)

Here are some pictures of the CAD and print process :slight_smile::
