Love this rendering

Me, in the middle of build season 2019-2020. Senior at Lampeter Strasburg HS

Custom designed and fabricated drive train

I love the rendering on this...better than real life and the depth perception is awesome.

4 motors for 4 holonomic wheels. Each wheel must be powered independently for a holonomic drivetrain

The final package, ready for the mechanics to go on top. The final product is a lot like the CAD.

Our block intake


Custom designed PID encoder odometry pods. I custom designed two of these (X and Y direction) using a custom 3D printed manifold, commercial omni-wheels (world's smallest from Australia), magnets and sensors I hacked from a commercially available PID sensor. The odometry pods give feedback to the controller that then uses software to compare where the robot actually is vs. where it should be and makes corrections as needed. Robots can auto correct themselves in autonomous mode for drive train slip and even if they run into something. FTC7244 was awarded the Control Award at Velocity Vortex World Championship in 2017.

Our virtual 4 bar block transport design. The block transport is mounted to the lift so it can stack vertical.
