Ring Collector Robot
This robot is a competitive robot that was made to collect rings into a bowl and lift the bowls up to the platform. It has a 4 motor drivetrain, a 600RPM ratcheted intake, and a 100RPM 4-bar lift. It also includes a system of pneumatic-powered pistons for the clamping mechanism and ring-release mechanism. This robot won the Taiwan National VEX competition.
This is a 15 second fully autonomous routine. Controls were achieved via motion tracking, PID, and path planning and following.
This was a fully autonomous 1-minute routine for the robot. The goal was to collect rings into the bowls and put them onto the platform. Control and consistency were achieved via motion tracking, PID, and path planning and following.
