Our robot for the 2017 competition, FIRST Steamworks. Pictured here with 8" WCP Mecanum wheels; however, we competed with 6x 8" AM Plaction wheels with Roughtop tread. We have a modular shooter that can be bolted on at the expense of a slower climb.
Notable features:
- Measured speed of ~14 fps
- 39" (L) x 36" (W) x 23.5" (H) and 91.1 lbs (without battery and bumpers)
- 100% autonomous gear placement
- 5 second climb including rope attachment, under 3 once rope is attached (2 CIM climber)
- Pneumatically actuated gear mechanism (allows for easy loading at human player station)
- Climber shifts to high gear for ball intake
A year of firsts for us:
- Our first time using pneumatics (allowed for gear mechanism and climber/intake)
- Our first vision targeting system (allowed for 100% gear placement)
- Our first reversible bumpers
- Our first award
