We designed our chassis with modularity and strength in mind. After experiencing continuous high-impact collisions, we have observed no damage to our frame.
Frame
2x2 chassis rail for more mounting spaces and rigid connections
Swerve x Flipped
X3 Ratio
10t pinion
4 Kraken drive motors
4 falcon azimuth motors
Extra corner gusseting
Bumper
Formula One-inspired hot-swap
full bumper swap in 15 seconds
Electrical
Houses our battery with a strap for quick swapping
Protective Limelight mounting on swerve modules saves space which allows for chassis rails to utilize their modularity
Uses electrical panel to add mounting options for other subsystems
The subsystem climbs by using telescopic slides. Containing a two-stage climber, it allows us to climb on the very edge of the chain, allowing the robot to participate in a triple harmony.
15:1 Lift motors
Climb on the Truss to allow considerable space for triple harmony
Capable of climbing regardless of bots on the chain
2 Climber Krakens
WCP telescopic slides
Square knots for simplistic stringing
Dyneema cable: 1,800lb load capacity
Climber hooks reach further with less weight and smaller packaging.
2-second climb
Extension lock Allows for last-minute climbs and compact packaging
Tie rods to halve torsional forces
10 minute swap time
The indexer passes notes to the shooter, which spins at 6000 RPM. The shooter then utilizes April tags to precisely score into the target.
160:1 pivot gear ratio powered by one Kraken
4:3 Neo Indexer Ratio
4 1:1 Shooter neos
1:1 motor to shooter-wheel ratio
4 limelights for accurate shooting
Designed to shoot at any range
Individually controllable shooter flywheels to impart an adjustable amount of spin on the note and a custom shot offset
Full 270-degree pivot
Combined powered amp mech and shooter indexer by moving pivot
Anti-defense by shooter being able to pivot vertically to reach over tall bots
Dual-beam breaks for precise note staging inside the shooter
Note guards on the indexer to narrow note path to complement beam breaks
We switched to a double-sided In-The-Bot intake to allow for multiple auto options and increase the acquisition window. Due to the improved note-guards and roller placement, we could confidently deploy a double-sided “touch it own it” intake.
Gear Ratio: 2:1
Two Neo motors power the rollers, this removed any complicated reversing mechanisms.
2" VersaRollers acquire the game piece from the floor
Our intake rollers span under our chassis, to avoid interference with Electrical systems
Rollers are fully protected under chassis rails to prevent damage
Spacers along side-plates maintain constant compression between rollers and floor
Smooth the transition into the intake rollers. Drivers do not need to have a precise lineup
Prevents notes from damaging swerve wheels, and wheels from from damaging notes
Prevents jamming from side
Passive note alignment with bearing stacks to ensure consistent hand-off to shooter
