FRC | 2019 | DESTINATION: DEEP SPACE

In DESTINATION: DEEP SPACE, Presented By The Boeing Company, we join two competing ALLIANCES collecting samples on Planet Primus. Unpredictable terrain and weather patterns make remote ROBOT operation essential to their mission on the planet. With only 2:30 until liftoff, the ALLIANCES must gather as many CARGO pods as possible and prepare their spaceships before the next SANDSTORM arrives.

  • Four wheel holonomic drive with 6 inch omni’s
  • Each pod contains the wheel, a cim and was constructed out of Baltic birch to help us achieve a max speed of 14 feet/second.
  • Nav-X by Kauai Labs for use as the field centric drive which would make it easier to pick up cubes efficiently and to keep our bot in constant motion
  • Greyhill encoders for autos
  • Chassis was built with 2 by 1 aluminum tubing with a Baltic birch belly pan.
  • Wood construction with 2 green Andymark compliant wheels on each side.
  • Powered by 775pro 10:1.
  • Pneumatics is uesd to open and contact the claw to squeeze the cube to have a “touch it, own it” feel.
  • The pivot of the claw is powered by a 100:1 bag motor gearbox with a 84:18 gear reductions
  • Cascading elevator, with the frame being made from 2 by 1 tubing and C-channel and the carriage being made from baltic birch.
  • A rope is used to power the elevator with a 2 775pro 30:1 gearboxes on one side and one 775 pro 30:1 on the other side for the rope to coil and pull the elevator up.
