2015 "Phoenix"
FRC team 225, TechFire, is proud to present our 2015 robot, Phoenix. The robot builds double stacks and RC caps.
Specs:
Drive
- 6” mecanum wheels, driven by CIMs through Vex clamping gearboxes with a total reduction of 9:1 before the wheel
- Gyro correction for mecanum movement
Arm
- Four bar
- Powered by 2 CIMs through VersaPlanearies, a RAW box, and a sprocket reduction for a total reduction of 852:1
- Hardened steel hex shaft to help prevent axle twisting
- Custom clutch for decoupling the arm to return the robot to transport configuration at the end of the match
Gripper
- Detachable pins for transport configuration
- Clamping and tote-interlocking forks
- 7” and 10” pneumatic cylinders allow gripper to have 4 different positions for differently sized and oriented objects
Canburglar (keeps changing every competition)
Capabilities
- Landfill mining
- Lifts RCs sideways or upright
- Lifts multiple totes simultaneously in the long or wide orientations
- Robot is capable of lifting up to 6 objects at once without tipping
- Lifts the lowest level up to level 5
- 2-RC or 4-RC canburgling autonomous modes
- 3-tote autonomous mode
- 2 different transport configurations depending on autonomous mode (canburgling or 3-tote)
Stats as of 1 April 2015
- 146 district points (currently 1st in MAR)
- 5th highest qualification score posted as of Week 5 (142.25, Upper Darby event)
- Currently #10 in OPR according to Ed Law’s spreadsheet (82.1)
- #1 Seed, Winner, and Excellence in Engineering Award-winner at both the Chestnut Hill and Upper Darby events
