The Engineering of a FTC Robot

Introduction:

 Our PBL project is based on the idea of efficient use of energy. This includes, but is not limited to potential power needed to lift objects, the speed/thrust needed to move swiftly and safely goods, efficient and timely delivery, and easier commute. This season, FIRST® ENERGIZE℠ presented by Qualcomm, FIRST teams have to reimagine the future of sustainable energy and power their ideas forward. This year the field is filled with towering poles of short bumpers at every part of the map; the efficiency of a robot compared with its size will be a contributing factor to success. 

Driving Question:

How can we eliminate the constraints of limited space while being the most efficient with our energy?
