The Robots
A robot's letter name is an abbreviation of its primary or most effective function(s). The numerical name denotes which version of construction the robot is currently (or in the case of past robots, ended) in. Numerals signify completed versions, while lowercase Greek letters signify prototypes. A prototype is any version that does not have complete functionality.
PIPS-1
Pixel Intake and Placement System One (PIPS-1) is the first functional version of this year's robot. This stage boasts a fully functional system to pick up pixels, a hook with which to hang, and an odometric wheel system that allows the robot to locate itself in the field.
Promobot-4
Promotional Robot Four (Promobot) is our outreach robot. We use it during sports games, to present to the judges, and as a means to present to people during events. It is the 4th major iteration of the design. To read more, click below and read the full Promobot article.
CSL-5
Compact Scissor Lift Five (CSL-5) is phase 5 of our competitive robot for the Power Play season. It possessed a robust scissor lift, strong claw, cone scoop, and improved aesthetics. It was able to pick up and stack the games scoring elements with ease.
TBFTS-4
Tread-Based Freight Transport System Three (TBFTS-3) was our robot for the Freight Frenzy season. It was able to effectively transport both kinds of freight, as well as our shipping element. It was also able to operate the duck spinner on a constant basis.
DL-6
Disc Launcher Six (DL-6) was our robot for the Ultimate Goal season. It was capable of lifting, procuring, and launching foam rings. The accuracy of its launches was about 70%.
OBSS-3
Odometric Block Stacking System Five (OBSS-5) was our robot for the Skystone season. It was capable of lifting and stacking plastic blocks. The maximum height of the stack was around four blocks.
