FRC 2022 Robot - Callisto

Robotics

Overview

6 wheel tank drive robot with shooter, intake, and climber for the 2022 FIRST Robotics Competition, Rapid React.

Context

Rapid React required robots to collect cargo, score into a central hub, and climb a series of endgame rungs for additional points.

Key Features

  • Electrical: lead-acid battery, power distribution unit, CAN-controlled motor controllers, DC brushless motors
  • Mechanical: 6 wheel drivetrain, flywheel shooter, intake arm with mecanum wheels, elevator for climbing
  • Programming: autonomous and manual control, camera vision, PID control for electromechanical systems
