FRC | 2022 | RAPID REACT

St. Mary C.S.S. Event Day 2 "Gracious Professionalism Award" Winner

Rapid React is played by two alliances of three teams each, with each team controlling a robot and completing specific actions in order to score points. The game revolves around both alliances shooting inflatable balls known as Cargo into a central Hub and climbing within their Hangars at the end of the match. The overall objective of each match is to score more points than the opposing alliance before the match ends.

Team 3161 is grateful to be part of the Open Alliance for the 2022 Season
  • 30 x 27 West Coast Drive frame, 4 colson, 2 omni in a 3 x 3 wheel configuration
  • Custom single reduction (5:1) gearbox powered by 2 NEO motors per gearbox
  • Rated Maximum speed 16 feet/s
  • Drivetrain is PID controlled using built in encoders from the drivetrain motors to aid and simplify autonomous and teleoperated operations
  • Passive intake, drops down during the start of the match, reducing the need for additional motors or the integration of a pneumatic subsystem
  • Custom casted 30A 4 inch and 2 inch roller arrays ensure a smooth pickup and transition of the ball to the intake
  • Driven by 1 775pro at a 15:1 reduction, power transmission provided by HTD 5mm belts and printed pulleys
  • IR Beam break at the intake superstructure helps indexing a second ball into the system
  • Based on our 2020 indexer
  • Balls are fed from the intake to the indexer using a passive hopper bed and printed ball guides
  • Balls are indexed using an IR Beam Break with 2 sided conveyor rollers powered by a 775pro at a 9:1 reduction that bring the balls up to the flywheel
  • FDM printed 200T HTD PETG turret ring, optimized for both partial and closed loop belt configurations
  • Interfaces with the turret plate using a stacked bearing configuration
  • Run with a NEO 550 on a 300:1 reduction 
  • +/- 190 degrees (380 degrees combined) of motion
  • Continuous active target tracking with a Limelight, reducing the need to turn to be able to aim shots, increasing theoretical cycle time
  • Polycarbonate shooter casing
  • Custom Cast 4 inch polyurethane primary flywheel driven by a Falcon 500 on a 0.5:1 reduction
  • 2 inch colson secondary hood flywheel driven by a NEO550 on a 3:1 reduction reduces game piece backspin allowing increased shot accuracy
  • 5-60 degree infinite position hood allows for on the fly adjustment of the hood by the robot, driven by a neo550 on a rack and pinion setup.
  • Inspired by our 2020 climber as well as 3847 and 95’s 2022 climber designs
  • First arm is deployed by a gas spring, extension control provided by a NEO powered winch at a 7:1 reduction
  • 2nd arm is deployed using a Helical extension Spring and extension control is provided by the primary winch driven by 2 falcons in an 8:1 reduction with a 1.25 inch drum
  • Passive hooks provide backdrive prevention as well as a hook to aid in traversing operations
  • Capable of all climbing levels L1(Low Rung) – L4(Traversal).
  • Capable of sub 50 second traversal climb
