TRIAL N ERROR 16328

OUR MACHINE

Detailed specifications and design philosophy of our current competition robot.

Robot Model

DRIVETRAIN

Motors are connected inline with high torque miter gears, allowing for an ultra-compact and modular drivetrain with ample space for internals. Features an inline odometry system with dead-wheels for precise position tracking.

SHIELD + CAMERA

A dedicated shield plate prevents artifacts from landing inside the robot, while the integrated camera system enables advanced vision processing.

INTAKE

Built with a 3D printed ramp and a row of 60mm Gecko wheels. Intakes artifacts very quickly through a large opening, allowing us to return to scoring faster.

GRAVITY TRANSFER

Uses a curved ramp on the inside to naturally move artifacts using gravity into the shooting position. A 100% reliable and passive design that reduces complexity.

SHOOTING FLAP

Lifts up to push artifacts into the flywheel. Engineered to allow for single, double, or triple fast shots.

FLYWHEEL & HOOD

Large 120mm wheels maintain angular momentum for rapid 3-artifact shots. The hood is controlled by two synced servos for precision (±15 degrees) and speed.
