Beatrice II boasts a GoBuilda chassis with glorious new mechanum wheels, fitting just within the 18x18 size limit for FTC. Improvements have been added, including an arm-and-claw contraption for picking up samples and specimens and a set of six slides were installed for ease in achieving hang and hanging specimens.Â
She is our current competition robot, ready for the 25-26 season.
Beatrice I competed in the first competition of the 2023-2024 season. She had a scrappy chassis with mechanum wheels, but clearance was too low and proved to be a challenge for maneuvers. Being mostly held together by "spiky nuts" (keps nuts), she mainly served as a prototype. She was retired in favor of a pre-built chassis for stability and consistency improvements.
