Our 2016 robot, Nautilus, was made to score points by breaching defenses and shooting boulders into the high goal.
Drivetrain:
- 6 wheel tank drive
- 8″ pneumatic wheels
- 5ft/second in low gear
- 15ft/second in high gear
Intake:
- Articulated via two BAG motors through 150:1 gearboxes
- PID loop controls position for intaking boulders, resting, and going over obstacles
- Roller geometry allows for boulders to be picked up from multiple directions
Shooter:
- Flywheel powered by Mini-CIM geared 4:3
- Encoder speed control for harder/softer shots
- Articulating hood tilts up/down to get any shot trajectory
- Automatic vision tracking enables the turret to lock on to the goal and shoot with the right power
