In the 2024 FRC Crescendo season, two competing alliances score notes (orange foam rings essentially) into a speaker or amp, human players provide the notes from sources. In the last moments of the game, robots race to climb the chain of the stage with their alliance.
During this, the RoboRams competed in the:
Battle Creek FIM District Event
Lansing FIM District Event
State FIM Competition Event
Impact Award - Battle Creek FIM District Event
Engineering Inspiration Award - Lansing FIM District Event
Drive Train: This year, we incorporated a swerve drive system with speeds up to 17 ft/sec
Output: We decided to utilize a shooter mechanism, with 4 inch compliant wheels precision spaced for maximum energy transfer to game piece. We also went with rear-loading feeder shaft, which allows transfer from intake and auto-firing when wheels have reached target rpm and arm has reached target angle and alignment.
Climbing: 2-Stage climb with telescoping arms and custom linear slides capable of trap scoring
Auton: Custom path-planner software combined with gyro feedback and wheel odometry to pre-program field navigation and intake-shoot commands. A variety of routines were created to score various gamepieces in the speaker and amp.
Specializations: As a special piece, we've incorporated a field-centric driving system.
