Fabrication
In our workspace we heavily used our 2 X-carve CNC to cut .090" thick 6061 aluminum, and ⅜" poly carbonate. We also used our sienci long mill mk1 to aid in drilling precise hole in 1"x1", and 2"x1" extrusions. Many of our more geometrically complex parts were sent out to our gracious sponsor "Sable Metal" to be laser cut from 6061 aluminum and we thank them for all the support they have given us!
Drive Terrain
ChassisMK4i Swerve Modules with L2 gear ratios are driven by 2 NEO V1.1 motors, utilizing Spark Max controllers, achieving a maximum speed of 4.9 m/s. YAGSL is employed for the swerve drive software. The chassis measures 32 inches long by 27.5 inches wide. It features 2056 style 3D printed swerve covers. The base plate is made from 0.090" thick laser-cut aluminum parts.
Intake
For our design, we required an under-bumper intake system that would effectively feed the note directly into the shooter. We needed it to be quick, robust, and easy to service, all while being gentle with the note. A NEO V1 motor drives the intake with a 14 to 45 gear reduction ratio. The intake is 2 inches wide and is attached to the front chassis rail using "T-Nut" style slots in the ⅜" polycarbonate plates.
Our Achievements
Our dedicated team members have worked tirelessly to achieve these prestigious awards and to create innovative robot designs. Their commitment, creativity, and teamwork have been the driving force behind our success in competitions.
