FRC Robotics 2015
About
This is the robot I designed for the 2015 FRC Robotics Competition: Recycle Rush. After gaining CAD experience during the 2014 competition, I put my CAD skills to the test as the only designer for Pisgah Robotics for the 2015 season.
The clamping mechanism was entirely pneumatic powered. This provided significant clamping force in order to lift and stack the totes. Mecanum wheels increased the mobility of the robot, allowing it to strafe left and right without turning the entire robot.
