Since our rookie season, 2023, Lindblom Gold & Maroon Eaglets have made an insane amount of robots that we'd like to share with you all. Including the year and the game name! :)
Started off with a kitbot, then slowly evolved to what it is now as you can see in the photo! You can't see it but there was a rubber band intake (can be seen on 23427's robot) that would collect artifacts while the other two rubber band wheels would push them in to shoot. When not shooting, the rubber band wheels would go in reverse in order to stop the artifacts from getting stuck. We could control where we shot from, whether it was near or mid-range, our shooter ramp would move depending on our positioning. When we shot, our intake ramp would angle upwards in order to allow the artifacts to reach our shooter. A polycarbonate side piece was placed in order to protect our wires.
This is Oso Robotto! The little birdie is Roadkill, our mascot! Robotto would intake with 3 sets of rubber band wheels into our shooter, where it would be stopped by a "door" to prevent us from firing when we're not ready. The turret was used with Axon-powered gears to give our robot the full torque and speed needed for cycling. A limelight was put in place in order to scan the april tag so that it could automatically set the velocity of the motor (both autonomous and tele-op), called this "auto-eye." Oso Robotto could lift during endgame, using an arm push mechanism (which took a LOT of complex geometry.) The two polycarbonate pieces (the side pieces) would contribute to the lift, but also help to protect the wiring!
