What we are building

Drivetrain

Chassis and weight budget so the robot still turns late in a match.

Intake and scoring

Game-piece path from the floor to the scoring element. Prototype, then metal.

Control

Java FTC SDK, encoders, and cameras. Auto paths before driver practice.

Drive station

Two-controller map and match-length practice.

Match periods

Autonomous

Opening period. The robot scores with no driver input.

Teleop

Drivers take over. Cycle time and intake reliability decide the score.

Size limit

Robots start in an 18-inch cube. Every mechanism has to earn its space.
