Team 1114 is sponsored by General Motors of Canada, Innovation First International, Gridpath Solutions, The District School Board of Niagara, Ontario Power Generation, Hema, Solidworks, Vykan, and many other generous sponsors.
Simbot Smokescreen will be competing at the Ryerson and Windsor Essex Great Lakes District Events, The Ontario Provincial Championship (if we qualify), and the FIRST Championship in Detroit.
Seriously one of the craziest bots I’ve seen this year, way more impressive in person aswell. Been watching all weekend at Ryerson and their elevator is so fast it’s crazy.
I love the effective simplicity that seems to be dominating the competition. One question what happened to the red powder coating? Either way it is still beautiful.
I wonder if all of their students are just waiting to be asked about mechanical design such as intake creation or climber integration and people are always saying, “Why don’t you powdercoat anymore?”
We had the pleasure of playing with and (unfortunately) against 1114 at Ryerson. What was interesting was we had a lot of very similar design ideas but could not keep up with their scale placement rate in the finals. The level of polish in the execution of this robot is inspiring and the software control is sooo smooth.
The double ended eject is so obvious once you see it and adds so much to simplifying the game flow, around the scale.
Congrats on another beautiful design and a well deserved district win at Ryerson.
