Robot Abilities

This year, we decided to use pneumatic wheels for extra grip. To intake cargo, Bucky had a pneumatically deployable arm that spun compliant wheels. The cargo would then go into the uptake, and then the shooter, which shot the cargo into the lower or upper hubs. Bucky also had to climbing arms for climbing onto the lower and middle rungs.

    • Woodie Flowers Finalist Award (Aaron Dolgin)
    • Team Sustainability Award

Results

While this season may not have been the best in terms of robot performance, the team was still able to pull through with the Woodie Flowers Finalist Award and Team Sustainability Award at the Aerospace Valley Regional.
