Worked as the Mechanical Lead to oversee the design, development, and testing of the 2022 robot.
Primary mechanisms consisted of mechanically synced 3 stage telescoping arms on pneumatically operated pivots which interface with statically mounted, pneumatically pivoted hooks to allow the robot to navigate a 'monkey bar' system. Actuated with custom gearboxes.
Retractable, 4-bar linkage intake with 3 roller bars allowed foam balls to be picked up from the floor and stowed within an internal feeding system (using line break sensors to optimize storage).
Flywheel shooter with adjustable hood allowed balls to be shot on a target from multiple positions, with assisted alignment from swerve drivetrain.
