Overview

Mizuki was designed to be an extremely competitive robot. Our robot is extremely maneuverable and is capable of rapidly firing balls into the opposing alliance trailers.

Design

The robot design was intentionally kept as simple as possible to allow us to concentrate on perfecting the design. Our conveyor system is a two staged conveyor system that uses a solid core round urethane belting. The two stage conveyor system allows us to easily control how many balls we have in our possession and where they are in our system at a time.

Drivetrain

The drive train utilizes six driven rover wheels. Each side is driven with a CIM motor using a kit of parts gearbox.

Manipulator

Balls are launched by a single rotating traction wheel driven by a CIM motor. The turret is rotated by a window motor. This shooting system is highly accurate. We are able to control the exact distance a ball is launched by simply controlling the speed of the CIM motor. We chose to mount the camera directly on top of the turret and are able to rotate it 30º in either direction.
