  • Two-roller intake on a chain and sprocket pivot for grabbing cones and cubes from ground and substation in any orientation
  • Double-jointed arm with pneumatic cylinder actuated bottom pivot and motor driven top pivot powered by 2x NEOs at a 182.25:1 overall reduction
  • Uses two Limelight 3s to align to the vision tape by combining the yaw measurements of each Limelight for extra accuracy
  • Accounts for the force of gravity as arm moves by recalculating the center of mass based on the rotation of the intake while using procedurally generated trajectories to move both arm joints
  • LED animations indicate whether going to position for intaking/scoring cones vs. cubes as well as communicate with the human player what game piece to put in

Alvaldi

Specifications

  • Name Alvaldi
  • Game Rapid React
  • Weight 117.0 lbs

Competition History

  • Ventura County Regional Semifinalists, Innovation in Control Award

  • 6x 4 in. Andymark Hi-grip wheel west coast drive powered by 4x Falcon 500s. Theoretical top speed of 15.91 ft/sec
  • Motor actuated intake with 4 in. mecanum wheels to vector cargo and a secondary set of 2 in. compliant wheels
  • L-shaped indexer that can store 2 cargo and can transition cargo to the shooter or expel it through the intake.
  • 2, 4 in. colson wheels with continuous hood which allows the robot to shoot anywhere on the field.
  • 180 degree turret powered by a NEO motor to reduce cycle times.
  • 2 sets of climber arms with passive hooks. 1 pair of 3-stage active active telescoping arms and 1 par of swinger arms actuated by a gas shock. Capable of reaching the traversal rung.
  • Limelight provides the distance to the hub, allowing our shooter and turret to determine an appropriate target flywheel velocity, hood angle, and turret angle to accurately score cargo into the upper hub.

  • Virtual 4-bar intake utilizes stationary sprocket and chain system to fold inwards when stowed or impacted
  • Uses a pneumatically adjusted hood with 3 positions and 2x NEO motors to consistently shoot power cells from anywhere between the front of the control panel and the target zone
  • Telescoping climber enables sub 5 sec. climb when the switch is tipped or stationary
  • Limelight provides the distance to the target, enabling our shooter to determine an appropriate target flywheel velocity
  • LED animations enable better driver and operator synchronization used to indicate bot alignment, climber lock, power cell pickup, ball launches and more.
