The Robot: BB8

This is our robot from the 2017-2018 season which was made of a custom CNC chassis. The robot uses 4 Orbital 20:1 motors to power 4 custom designed mecanum wheels. It can quickly complete ciphers with the speed that all of the mechanisms possess. The intake composed of wheels and fingers can pick up the glyphs around the field at any angle. Using automated routines the horizontal lift system is able to deliver the relic standing up in the third zone within 1 second. This was one of our best years being Division Finalists at the Houston World Championship and winning the Think Award. 

The Game: Relic Recovery

There is a 30 second autonomous period in which the robot has to run its autonomous program. In autonomous, the robot can score glyph(s), knock of the jewel, and park in the safe zone. After the autonomous period, teleop begins which is where the robot is controlled by the drivers. The robot can do many things in the two minutes of teleop such as scoring glyphs in the cryptobox, completing ciphers, and scoring relics. In the last 30 seconds of teleop the end game begins; the robot can score relics and balance on the balancing stone.
