Robot Report

Introducing Cornerstone:

Our 2024 robot, Cornerstone, is our strongest creation yet. Bringing us to an finalist finish at Escanaba and allowing us to become the third place alliance captain at LSSU, Cornerstone has been a rock solid robot that has undergone continuous improvement. We are extremely pleased with the result of our countless hours of work.

Name Inspiration:

We wanted a name that reflected our team's theme of being ROK-solid, both in design and in character. Taking inspiration from scripture, we decided cornerstone would be the perfect fit.

The stone the builders rejected 

has become the cornerstone

Psalm 118:22

Key Features:

• Combined shooter, intake, and climb mechanism for simple yet effective design.

• Intake is retractable, protecting it during match play.

• Our shooter reaches over 4000 RPM, allowing it to fire extremely powerful and accurate shots.

• We can use AprilTags to automatically face the speaker and set the right angle for the distance.

• We have five different autonomous routines, including a center 4 note and 3 note autos for every starting position.

Recent Progress:

Over spring break, we had the opportunity to use our school's band room as a practice field to test new autonomous routines and improve our driving skills. Thank you to band directors Mr. Barnby and Mr. Rose for allowing us to use their room.
