2011 FRC Season: Logomotion
Robot Name: Balta and Boris
The 2011 game required two robots - one host-bot and one mini-bot. Our host bot, Balta, had a eight wheel drive train that traded between manuvaerablility and stability with four exterior plaction wheels and four interior mechnum wheels. The exterior wheels would be lifted about an inch of the ground with pistons. The arm also used pnematics and extened up to 9 feet. The minibot, Boris, used a motor, battery pack, and silicon rollers to climb up the 10 foot pole in less than 1 second.
2010 FRC Season: Breakaway
Robot Name: Marmaduke
Marmaduke represents our first step into mecanum-drive land. This robot's kicker uses pneumatics, springs, and electromagnets to kick the soccer ball all the way across the field. The metallic cover serves as a ramp during the end-game, and alliance partners are able to drive up the ramp onto the platform.
2009 FRC Season: Lunacy
Robot Name: Astra
The 2009 robot "Astra" remains a team favorite. Featuring four pneumatic cannons - two on the front, and two on either side - and a conveyor belt pick-up design, this was one of our more elaborate robots.
2008 FRC Season: Overdrive
Robot Name: RoboDawg
Our rookie robot "RoboDawg" opperated with one piston that was attached to a fist. that hit the ball, knocking it off the rack. Then RoboDawg would race around the field operating on a 6-wheel tank drive train.
