Clyde is ready for Power Up! At WPI this past weekend, Clyde ended qualification matches in 5th place. We were selected by the 3rd place Alliance TJ(Squared) and the Terror Bots! We ended the day in first place and taking home a blue banner and the Quality Award, which celebrates robustness in concept and fabrication!
At Pine Tree, Clyde ended qualification matches in 2nd place, much higher than we were expecting! We selected our friends from Team 6329 and Team 4906, We were a finalist and won the Industrial Design Award! Our lead designer, and mechanical lead Zoe is a Dean's List Semi Finalist. A great ending to one of our favorite events. NE District Champs were a tough run, but at the end of three days of competition we ranked 13th out of 209 teams in New England and was invited to Worlds in Detroit. We want to thank the 8th Seed Alliance Captain, Team 4557 and Team 95 for working with us. And best of all Zoe was chosen a Finalist for Dean's List and is heading to Detroit! Good Luck Zoe! Can't wait for Off Season to start! |

Steamworks 2017
Lexi Little Fridge
|
Lexi-
Lexi is Team 4564’s 2017 competition robot! Lexi had to be capable of manipulating large gears, launching wiffle balls (called “fuel”) into a tall goal that was called a “boiler” due to the steamworks theme, and climb a rope in under 30 seconds. Lexi was an extremely agile and maneuverable robot due to her drivetrain. Her h-drive or a slide drive which allowed her to move in any direction (front, back, side to side, and strafe in any direction) without turning or engaging any extra wheels. Lexi manipulated gears with a passive system that interacted with a human played feeding station. Lexi launched fuel with weighted flywheels and climbed the rope with a Velcro winch. |

2014 Aerial Assist
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.

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.
