Gracious Professionalism-WPI Innovation in Control-Pine Tree Winner-Battle of the Bay "Just" Because-Team 319 BOB Battle Of the Bay Obstacle Course First Place-Team 4041Robot Rodeo Wicked BFF's-Mainly Spirit Description "Natasha" the 2014 robot was designed to throw a large exercise sized ball into a high goal and over a truss in the middle of the field. It was able to pick up balls from the ground by using what other teams dubbed the "scorpion tail", a curved arm with a wheel on the end, spinning to drag the ball into the robot. The shooter was a hoop on arms that would swing up and stop at the correct spot to get the ball into the high goal. The speed and angle of the throw was based on input from sensors on the front of the robot and the amazing programming done by our programming team. The robot could detect how far away from the wall we were and vary the speed and angle of the throw to make sure the ball went in as accurately as possible. 2013 Ultimate Ascent

Awards:
Rookie All-Star-Pine Tree Finalist-Beantown Blitz Governor's Promising STEM Youth Award Description "Shasha" the 2013 robot was designed to feed Frisbee's from a feeder station and shoot them into goals for varying point values. This was achieved by spinning a wheel up to speed, rotating a cam that then pushed the Frisbee into a 90 degree turn and out of the robot. The height of the shooter can be adjusted by a winch which is also how we could climb onto a tower at the end of the match for added points. The hooks placed on top of the robot link on the bottom bar and the winch is driven down to pull the bottom of the robot up and off the ground. |
