FRC team 225, TechFire, presents our 2017 robot, "FireStorm". 

FireStorm is designed to be a top-tier fuel scoring robot in the 2017 game, SteamWorks. FireStorm can score over 30 fuel in the boiler during autonomous and move 6 gears across the field per match.

Robot:
• 119 lb without battery/bumpers
• Thomas 215ADC38/12 compressor for air generation 

Drive:
• Six 4”x1.5” VexPRO Colson wheels
• VersaChassis west coast drive system driven by #25 chain
• 6 CIM motors driven through VexPRO 3 CIM Ball Shifters
• Geared for speeds of ~11 ft/s and 18 ft/s

Collection & Ball Feed
• Fully contained within the robot for additional protection from collisions
• Width of collection and feed is almost the same of that of the shooter, preventing ball jams within the robot
• Full-width conveyor belt floor across the bottom of robot for ball feed

Shooter
• Triple-wide shooter powered by 2 775pro motors
• Black Fairlane wheels are heavy, helping to maintain inertia of the shooter
• Steel flywheel added for additional inertia
• Vision tracking using Android phone and app. Vision tracking adjusts both the power of the shot and angle of robot towards the target
