Robot
Meet VALKYRIE
Valkyrie is the team's most recent robot made for the 2022 season. Valkyrie was able to get us to the World Championships and we were in the top 10 alliances at 5 of 8 events. At all of our events, we made it to the quarterfinals. At World Championships, we were the 6th seed alliance and ranked 8th in the Newton Division.
The ins and outs of valkyrie
We have a swerve drive for our drive train which allows us to maneuver around the field quickly and precisely. Our intake consists of a single full-width roller with mecanum wheels and green-compliant wheels. It is deployed via a rack and pinion that is attached to the transporter. The transporter moves the ball from the intake to the shooter by use of belts and wheels. Our shooter uses wide Colson wheels powered by NEOs to shoot the ball. Our hood is made so we can adjust it. The climber is divided into 2 modules, one on each side of the robot. Each module has a 2 stage telescoping arm and a rotating arm. This allows us to pull up to the Mid Rung and translate to the Traversal Rung.
