Knightro is the robot for the CyberKnight’s 2017 FRC season. A fully loaded robot with a rapid firing turret and a highly accurate targeting camera, judging direction and distance.
Knightro is also equipped with a wide, efficient intake to quickly fill its large capacity hopper.
The dual pronged gear pickup can retrieve gears from the floor and has automated gear placement.
Multiple Autonomous modes are available based on alliance strategy, including the ability to achieve significant kPa in autonomous. Knightro has a fast and reliable climber and is very agile, with a 2 speed, 8 Wheeled drive train powered by 6 CIMs.
195 built another world-class contender this year. Even at a Week 1 district, they were already nailing 15+ kPa in auton consistently, and by Hartford I’m sure they will be consistently hitting 40 kPa (if they don’t already have it for Tech Valley). They also have a simple and compact gear mechanism and a nifty hanger.
What really impressed me about this team is how the entire team, especially the drive team, carried themselves. Everyone was hard working and professional, leaving nothing to chance and constantly working to improve. Their pilot in particular worked extremely hard to quickly complete scoring tasks and to signal information back to the drivers. If you’re ever on the opposite side of the glass from 195, watch out!
Not to brown nose - but I do have to echo this, even as the team knocked out by 195 at Waterbury. Using their practice facility was insanely helpful to our team and I’m excited to work with them for years to come.
I can see why even Bailey, of all former students, is a relatively professional and mature person
