20-21 Robot

Mecanum drivetrain with a 17:1 gear ratio to maintain a balance between speed and acceleration for quick maneuverability around the field.

The aluminum parallel plate design acts as a very solid and simple central structure for the robot.

Control Hub mounted downwards for instant accessibility

A flywheel squishes the rings along a curved wall, giving them consistent exit velocity and gyroscopic stability

Flywheel has a 1⁄2” thick aluminum disk inside the wheel to increase its moment of inertia and minimize the speed drop when firing rings

Innovative telescoping side hood gives the robot the crucial ability to shoot accurately even if bumped or while moving

Surgical tubing rollers provide the flexibility to intake rings at imperfect angles

The outer roller can be at ground level to intake flat rings or at a 45º degree angle for rolling rings, a crucial ability in order to grab rings before our opponents can

Small counter-rotating roller at ground level to kick rings up off the field and onto the ramp. More reliable than a ground-level ramp because it can’t get caught

Carefully designed claw pieces can grab a wobble goal from a very large area and grip it securely with four points of contact

Integrated claw and funnel design keeps the gripper small and simple

The entire assembly is easily removable from the robot for quick maintenance
