This season our robot was built for the Reefscape game where it was designed to prioritize the algae game pieces. We incorporated an elevator and claw as well as reverting back to a tank drive base.
Our subsystems were:
A two tiered elevator to reach the top of the barge structure
A vertical static claw to intake algae pieces with four rubber wheels to harvest algae off the reef or ground, and then shoot in both processor and net
two arms on the intake that hold one coral to place during the autonomous period using rubber bands
Our robot was very successful, being the best Algae only robot and the 3rd best algae bot at the competition. Due to our reliable auto and amazing tele-op we ended the GPR qualifying matches at rank 7, making us the alliance captain of alliance #5. We partnered with teams 1708 (Amp'd Robotics) and 63 (McDowell Robotics). Our alliance made it to the 5th round of the double elimination bracket, (after a 119-120 victory over the #3 alliance) ending the competition in 3rd place.
Thank you to team 694 for gifting us their "Most Creative Robot" award.
Despite not being the main scoring element we focused on these!
We could score 1 in auto.
