About Our Robot
Our robot has two mecanum wheels on each side of the chassis. Each wheel is powered by a HEX 90 Degree UltraPlanetary motor. We utilize a control hub paired with an extension hub as the "brains" of the robot. In terms of the arm, we currently have a chain/belt-bar lift design. Our arm has one servo on the end of the arm, attached to the spike, which grabs the freight from the inside by expanding outward. The bar lift is powered by a HEX Planetary Motor, linked to two 90 degree bevel gears, which transfer the torque via a belt into the lift. The arm itself is powered by two REV HEX CORE motors, one on each side of the robot. These motors transfer their torque into a series of gears, which rotate the arm upwards and over. We drop cones by backing into the junction, raising the arm, raising the lift, and then releasing the servo, thus dropping the cone. We are able to score consistently on the high junctions in both autonomous and tele-op.
