The 2014 FIRST Robotics season was a lot more challenging than previous years, mainly for the fact that it required a much larger amount of teamwork and cooperation than a lot of the other competitions. In addition, coordinating three teams to work together can be quite the task on its own, but it is only all the more difficult when each team has little to no experience with the other teams, and each team has their own ideas and strategies for completing the objective. As such, we designed our 2014 robot to handle a wide variety of gameplay mechanics and tasks so that we could deliver outstanding performance in any competition role that was required of us. From its monstrous 12-wheeled drive-train to its dual-facing intake system and thunderous kicking wedge right on down to its ability to change its front/back orientation, our robot was designed with power, precision, and personality in mind. - Connell Howard Senior 2014 For more on the 2014 FRC season and other team events click here! |

2012 - "Tank"
|
|
Rebound Rumble was the name of the game and “Tank” dominated the courts. The challenge in 2012 was to create a robot that could play an altered form of basketball. At the end of the match robots could balance on bridges to gain extra points. Our robot featured a double-sided pickup system. It was able to drive over a ball and instantly pick up it up without slowing down or changing course. Once it had the ball it was able to lock on to the reflective targets and easily score all three shots. The robot was also designed to easily cooperate with other robots during the end game balance segment. Its wide body and front “Skis” allowed the bridge to be quickly tipped and fit multiple robots on the bridge (more robots on the bridge meant more points). Our robot was designed to be an extremely reliable and robust machine. It rarely broke, and when it did it was usually a quick fix. In fact, “Tank” is still operational today, years after its completion. - Troy Willmer Junior 2012 For more on the 2012 FRC season click here! 2012 Off Season Project "BroncoBot"
Broncobot was a fun project created in only a matter of hours in order to bring some robot fun into the Lapeer Days parade of 2012, whose theme was "The Wild West". So in the dining room of one team member, BroncoBot came to life. It drove through the parade a week later and has been slowly improved on ever since. - Amie Barker Sophomore 2012 |
2011 - "The Claw"
|
The FRC challenge of 2011 was to gather inflatable tubes in the shape of a triangle, a square, and a circle and place them on pegs, there were three sets and each set was placed at differing heights, to form the FRC logo, hence the name "LogoMotion." This years FRC represents two challenges; to accurately and effectively grab the game pieces (the tubes) and raise the game pieces vertically so the game pieces can be placed onto the pegs. To overcome these challenges we designed our robot with a claw, hence its name "The Claw," that would grab the tubes and we mounted that claw onto a plate which we designed to elevate upward or downward to change the affective range that our claw had at grabbing tubes and placing tubes onto the pegs. Our solution to the 2011 FRC challenge was a simple one, but effective. - Brad Berlinger Junior 2011 |
