2018 FRC Robot
Winner of the Ontario District Championship and World Championship semifinalist
During my grade 11 year in high school I took on the role of captain and design lead on Team 1325. In 2018 the challenge was to place milk crates onto scales and out-weigh the opponent and then climb up the scale at the end of the match. We designed a very unique robot with mechanisms designed to speed up cycles and work well with other teammates. We won the provincial championships in Ontario and made it to semi-finals at the World Championship in Detroit when our teammate's robot had a mechanical failure, costing us the match.
I designed the auxiliary intakes (pictured below) which could grab milk crates from a far distance, orient them properly and pull them into the robot in a predictable way. This was what separated us from other robots that had problems with grabbing milk crates from weird orientations.
