FRC Robotics 2014
About
This is the robot I designed for the 2014 FRC Robotics Competition: Arial Assist. Working with the team’s mentors, I designed many of the functional mechanisms of my team’s robot. This was the first year CAD was used to design Pisgah Robotics’ Robot.
The firing mechanism utilized elastic tubes to provide the force to launch the ball. To engage the firing mechanism, a coupling-rod mechanism similar to an old steam locomotive was used. This design allowed one motor only driving in the forward direction to load and fire the ball from the robot.
