Our robot

Odometry-Enabled Drivetrain

Drone Launcher

Intake

Our drivetrain makes use of three odometry pods from Optii to accurately track the position of the robot across the field. Using this data, we can use Roadrunner to create accurate motion profiling paths for our robot during autonomous.

Our drone launcher uses an innovative design to adjust its angle for the optimal drone launch. The robot performs kinematic equations on the fly, then adjusts the drone launcher to the appropriate angle to correct for minor positional adjustments.

Our robot's intake features an innovative spring mechanism combined with linked rollers to intake pixels in an efficient, consistent manner. The spring mechanism will latch onto the pixel, allowing it to slide up the ramp but not fall back down.
