Our New Drive Team
The drive team was decided on a whim, and it turned out pretty okay!
Bot Repairs
Having to constantly update the robot is exhausting, but that's what makes this so cool. The challenge...

OUR ROBOT 2022 - 2023
Currently, our robot uses a mecanum drive train that allows it to strafe for faster movement. Our arm uses a double-block mechanism to allow it to rise higher than a normal arm. Our grabber uses two servos that move in tandem to bring the goal into the hand, then move the other way to eject. Surgical tubing allows the grabber to open and close to fit any size goal, making it easier to focus on other things.
