"SnailBOT"

Custom built with 3D-printed parts, this robot sports an aluminum chassis with belt drive mounted Mecanum wheels and a set of 2 wheel odometry pods, allowing a steady, seamless ride. Unique to its design, there are 2 intake collectors and 2 shooting launchers, with its ramp hoods and attached shooter motors resembling the shell of a snail and its eyes, respectively.

"Kyckling"

This robot is built with 3D printed parts and a polycarbonate chassis, making it relatively lightweight. The collector flywheel intakes artifacts upward into a vertical chamber which then uses gravity to roll down into the launch flap where the shooter flywheel launches all 3 artifacts consecutively.

Both robots, during the 30 second autonomous period, can shoot 6 artifacts from the "close to goal" launch zone and the "far from goal" launch zone, with the 7462 robot also being able to shoot in motif order.

During the last 20 seconds of the TeleOp period, both robots use a "lift system" during parking, meaning that all wheels lift up off the ground and are suspended in the air. This allows both teams to not only score a full park more easily but also leave half of the parking square open for their alliance teammate to park. When either team is paired with an alliance partner who also uses a lift system, a 30 point park can be scored!
