Wow, what a crazy season!!!
For Worlds, we bet the farm and introduced our V3 Worlds robot, with a 6-degree-of-freedom arm, active camera-based auto-aligning vision system, parallelizing tertiary arm and PTO-boosted Level 3 Climb. Although we were still working out the kinks when we arrived in Houston for FIRST World Championships, by the 4th day we managed to set the Jemison Division Record and win the Think Award.
For States, we upgraded our "COTs all-season" robot with an armored shroud, better vision system and triple motor pivoting slides for faster scoring. We reclaimed #1 OPR in the world -- this time holding that spot for 10 weeks, all the way to World Championships -- and set multiple world records. We won Washington State Championships and 1st Inspire. This helped us make #1 on FTC Top 25.
Instead of doing another custom CAD-designed CNCed robot, for the Into The Deep (FTC 2024-25) season, we chose to do a COTS ("Custom Off-the-Shelf") robot to maximize quick learnings and iteration. Our "Robot in 3 Days" in September evolved to become "Robot in 3 Weeks" for League 1 -- and eventually, "Robot for All Season" for Interleagues. It has a claw mechanism that quickly picks up samples to score in the high basket. Our versatile robot can also efficiently score specimens on the high chamber. Many teams were impressed by our Level 3 Climb!
At the end of Interleagues in December, we had the highest OPR in the world and made FTC Top 5 for the first time ever! We also won 1st Inspire and were on the Winning Alliance!
Our CenterStage (FTC 2023-24) V2 robot was meant to be an improvement on our V1 robot. It included 2 sets of dual linear slides. The horizontal extension reached up to 6 ft away. It is also a pass-through robot with now an active transfer instead of a passive one like the last robot.
Although we never fully finished it, we were able to compete with it during a match at WTI with 12808 ReVamped Robotics which was a ton of fun. Hopefully, you'll be able to see us take this robot to a scrimmage soon!
For League 1 and League 2 of Centerstage (2023-24), we created a 2 stage robot. We can score two mosaics, reach the first setline, and score a total of 12 pixels on the backdrop! Many local teams were very impressed with our robot!
We ended up competing with this robot at the interleague and state levels as well due to still working on our robot. We were the Finalist Alliance Captain at Interleagues, Finalist Alliance Captain at WTI, and Finalist Alliance 1st Pick at WA State Championship.
This is a basic Centerstage (FTC 2023-24) robot that can both score pixels on the backdrop and backstage. Our new members 3-D printed a sloped object that allows the robot to easily go under the stage door.
We built an entirely new robot for states of PowerPlay (FTC 2022-23). With two stages working simultaneously, we could score cones onto all 4 junction levels even more quickly and efficiently. We were even able to get a 1+5 during autonomous!
For Interleagues of PowerPlay (FTC 2022-23), we built a robot that used a human-like arm with a wrist that flipped over to score cones onto the poles. During the game, we were able to score 14 cones onto the nearest high pole and complete a full circuit. As a result, many local teams were inspired by our design.
We built this new Freight Frenzy (FTC 2021-22) robot based of our previous year's Freight Frenzy robot. We transferred it from Rev to Gobilda and made other improvements. This robot was designed to score cubes and balls. It has a surgical tube spinning intake, turret, linear slides for extension, and an arm to help move up and down while scoring.
We built this carnival robot to the rings from Ultimate Goal (FTC 2020-21). It was designed with a tank drive to make it easy for kids to drive. At our market events, we let kids drive it and had a lot of fun! (See our impact page to learn more about our events.)
