Have a look at our previous robots

» Wings I «

Description: This was our robot during the 2006 season, it also happens to be the first robot made by Team 39. The robot featured a rotating turret that had a range of about 180°. We had an autonomous mode in which we would stay stationary and fire from our starting position. The bot featured a tank-drive steering system and was able to get up on the platform for the endgame.

Description: This was our robot during the 2007 season. It features an arm with 3 joints able to grasp and place the game tubes on any row of the rack. For endgame, our robot had a set of forks that came down and were maneuvered under another robot, then a foot came down lifting one side of our robot up and lifting the ally robot up for a full point bonus. We also had working autonomous that used the camera and we were able to hang a tube on the second row of the rack consistently.

This year's robot is named after our previous mentor Ken Lloyd. He died this year while battling cancer. Ken, we salute you!

Description: This was our robot during the 2008 season, our robot uses an ackerman-style steering system, with an electronic differential drive. To collect the balls we have a pair of forks that rotate out and touch the ground. These forks can spread apart to allow the ball to come in close to our robot and then close to hold the ball in place. The forks can then rotate back up so the ball will be resting on our robot. To hurdle we have a catapult sytem powered by compressed air. It can shoot the ball with a couple feet of vertical clearance and can be fired while moving or stationary. To retrieve the balls off the overpass we have a pair of sprung "l" shaped posts that can be elevated or lowered to knock the ball off.
