S[Ti]ngray is our 2025 season competition robot. Last year’s competition involved scoring “coral,” which were PVC pipes, onto the“reef,” a metal structure with prongs at various heights, removing “algae” balls from the reef, and climbing onto a cage to lift our robot completely off the ground. Our robot was able to score coral on all levels of the reef, except the lowest section. Weighing 145 pounds and traveling at a max speed of 11.5 miles per hour, our robot was capable of scoring coral on the reef every 15-25 seconds. To achieve this, we had a “swerve” drivetrain base which allows omnidirectional movement and a two-stage cascading elevator. Towards the final 30 seconds of the match, our robot climbs and lifts itself off the ground using our climber. We used a system of rack and pinions to drop our funnel, and our climber deployed using a winch system.
