Unique Robot Designs for Charged Up

I’ve seen some very efficient, and well performing robots, but not many that have blown my mind away.

I encourage you to share robots that were mind blowing to you the first time you saw them, in this thread.

I was watching a match video of 3357, but seeing 1918 NC Gears on the other alliance I was like “what the heck is that design?” And they ranked #4 at their first event.

My team (5468) has a pretty crazy design for an arm. Multiple lead screws, 5 different joints. It looks like an arm on a car assembly line. Here’s one of our matches. Qualification 61 - 2023 PNW District Clackamas Academy Event - YouTube

Every single year, team 5818 comes up with the most insane floppy intakes, and I love them. They’ve had to dissolve and reform as team 9084 this year (they were originally left over students from 1717). I’ll be seeing their robot tomorrow at Ventura and I can’t wait to see what they’ve come up with this time.

We often come up with a utility design made to complement teams at FIM and CMP. It was intentional and planned, but a bit of a chance this season. We are competing at FIMWM this weekend and have rehearsed it a bit more and should look nice.

This thread would be remiss if it didn’t mention 5414. 5 cube auto, cube shooter, separate cone intake, big ol’ stick to get into the community.

Reveal video!
