Registration is the essential step to take part in the competition this year. A little before the deadline team 5553 registered for the Challenge “At Home”!
What should our robot do?
The robot must be able to work in 2 different ways:
“Full Autonomy” mode
Without human intervention
It’ s the programing that allows the robot to move around.
2 distinct timed circuits
“Remote control” mode
A pilot controls the robot’s movements and actions on the field.
The 1st round consists of avoiding as much as possible the obstacles present on the ground.
The 2 other rounds include ball retrieval at different points of the playing field and shots in the zone of point with 100% accuracy
Our Robot : SCRUMTROOPER 2.0
We are working on an improved version of our 2020 robot, based on the exchanges we had with the different teams present at the Los Angeles Regional last year.
Drivetrain:
- 6 traction wheels
- 11,3 ft/s
- 4 Neo brushless motors
Intake:
- 3 sets of wheels
- Retractable thanks to 2 actuators
Barrel:
- The advantage of a barrel is the possibilty of storing cells as they come in and to eject them on demand.
- The barrel has a motor that will turn the power cells tank and thanks to blades will send them into the shooter. This mechanism is similar to a revolver.
- The construction of the cylinder is a real challenge for the team because we never experrienced such a mechanism before.
Shooter:
- Flywheel shooter
- 2 sets of wheels push the balls up to the shooter
- 360° turret
- Adjustable hood to control shoot angle
Programming:
- C++
- Use of a visual recognition software: photo vision
- Characterization of engines
Trajectory following
- Path generation tool based on segments, arcs and clothoids
- Motion profiling and trajectory calculation
