The "Orca" (Bot V2)
The "Orca" (Bot V2)
After Meet 1 we realized we needed a complete redesign, so we started working, since meet 2 was only 3 weeks away, we started planning this, while maintaining our old bot. The Orca features a horizontal and vertical extension, with a handoff system, and worm gear powered arms to receive a level 2 ascent. We used a servo linkage system for our horizontal extension, and Home depot slides custom fitted with a belted system for our vertical extension. We a achieved a 4 sample and 4 specimen autonomous, placing our autonomous OPR scores 3rd in our league. 3 wheel odometry was used.

Our V1 bot was the one we started on in the beginning of the year, and used until our 2nd league meet. We had a worm gear pan kit to make this robot a pivot bot. We used BWTlink slides for our extension, along with a multi axial claw. this bot did not fare too well, and was clunky and slow. We did innovate on a worm gear arm for our level 2 ascent, which we did use in our next robot. We learned that for a pivot bot, a worm gear is not the best idea.
