Our Robots
2019- Destination Deep Space- "HALex Soren"
Our robot had a 4-wheel mecanum drive with an aluminum and PVC arm. The arm had a bag motor with a 5:1 Versaplanetary gearbox- driven flywheel to intake and shoot cargo off the ground. The arm was rotated by a red-line motor on a 64:1 BaneBots gearbox via a winch and pulley system. We placed 6th at the Greater DC Regional and were an alliance captain for the first time in team history. We won a judges' award at the Southern Maryland Regional for our team's commitment to diversity and equity in STEM.

2018- Power Up- "Mr Ramp"
Our robot had a 4-wheel mecanum drive with a large plexiglass arm to trap power cubes. We powered the arm with a CIM motor and also built a small "foot" powered by a window motor to push cubes out of the robot after we had trapped them. This was our most successful robot yet, bringing us to the quarterfinals of the Maryland Regional where we lost a nail-biter to the eventual tournament champions.

2017- Steamworks
Our robot had a 6-wheel swerve drive with a Lexan basket in front to receive and distribute gears. We built a climber powered by 2 large CIM motors and a toughbox-mini gearbox, driven by a drive-train toothed- belt.

2016- Stronghold
Our robot featured a drivetrain with 4 8-inch wheels and 2 6-inch wheels to aid in driving up and down the ramps in the game. Our freshmen sensations David and Nate designed an actuated arm powered by window motors which we added at our last competition, allowing us to traverse every obstacle in the game. Our low goal intake and shooting system was powered by two bag motors geared with 7:1 Versaplanetary Gearboxes. This was our most successful robot yet, and we won the Greater DC Regional partnering with team 1418 and team 836
2014- Aerial Assist
We used a standard 6-wheel drive train with two modulox channel arms that pivoted up and down powered by a double-window-motor winch system. Our ball intake system was a hex shaft with several 4 inch wheels connected to a chain assembly powered by a single CIM motor. Unfortunately, our arms proved a bit too flimsy for the amount of contact in the game and didn't last as long as we wanted.
