A video of our sorted 12 ball autonomous for states/regionals.

 Our fourth and final iteration of Magic Machine we used an improved iteration of our V3. This featured an improved and more reliable launching system which allowed us to have a 12 ball sorted autonomous with leave points for the Cheapeake Championship, and placed 9th in the Blue Crab division.

 We used versions of this robot in our second and third qualifier, allowing us to qualify for the Chesapeake Championship (twice)! It had a custom aluminum sidepanels and drivetrain. It also featured a now lowered 3-D printed spindexer with raised walls and more spacing, reducing friction and increasing sorting speed. It also featured a custom angle adjustable launcher for further precision. For the our third qualifier, we were able to optimize this robot to have a 9 ball autonomous with motif pattern points and leave points.

This is our robot we used in our first competition, helping us qualify for playoffs. It featured a surgical tubing intake along with a spindexer and an adjustable launcher, allowing us to sort the artifacts for motif points. Most of it is either 3-D printed or custom machined, allowing for optimization of the assembly of the parts on the robot.

This is our Robot in 30 Hours for for 2025-2026 DECODE season. This robot featured a Gecko wheel vertical spinning intake, and a horizontal Gecko wheel spinning launcher mechanism. It also is built on a custom chassis, which is a change from the goBilda Strafer Chassis that we had used for previous seasons. This allowed us to make our drive train lighter, and bring the center of gravity lower and closer to the middle.

This is our robot which we competed with in the FTC Chesapeake District Championship. It featured a goBuilda drivetrain chasis with odometry pods and a goBuilda Pinpoint IMU for navigation. The bot featured two linear slides with a hook on the ends for hanging. The robot also featured an arm with a claw to intake and transfer the samples to a pivoting bucket on a linear slide. The robot also had an arm and claw which pivoted on the base on the linear slide to specialize in specimen scoring. The robot also featured a front bumper to push samples into the human player zone.

Robot statistics:

• #10 OPR in Chesapeake after the district championships

• 5 sample autonomous with sample object detection

• 4 specimen Autonomous

• 15 sample Teleop

• 10 specimen Teleop

• Level 2 Ascent

This is our first ever robot, which featured a standardized goBuilda drivetrain with mecanum wheels. The robot had a singlular rotating motor for the arm, which had a claw at its end to pick up and score pixels on the backdrop.
