Robot Specifications

Greetings from FRC Team 3799, Electric Fire! We are a competition robotics team at NDHS. We design, build, wire, program, test, & drive robots; we teach STEM to kids; we learn about really cool technology (like 3D printers & drones); we spread the joy of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math) in our school & the community; we gain resume-building experience; we strategize gameplay; we laugh a lot; & we do so much more! Robotics is a great place for skill-building, making friends, & having fun. 

Regardless of whether you are interested in design, programming, building, wiring, volunteering, writing, art, web design, animation, photography, presenting, historical documentation, or even social media, there is a place for you!  We encourage you to get more involved!

  • Side rails and cross bars are 2”x1”x1/8”
  • Bumper mount latches for tool-less removal
  • Passive leaf spring hooks
  • 3/16” thick water-jetted belly pan features tapped holes to mount compressor, air manifold & Swerve WAGO mounts.

Drive Train

  • Swerve drive with 4” wheels

Drive Gearbox

  • 2 Falcon 500 motors per gearbox (one drive, one steer)
  • Overall Reduction: 7.85:1
  • Theoretical Top Speed: 14.2 ft/s

 

Intake

  • Uses 10, 2” Vectored Intake (Mecanum) wheels to quickly center Power Cells to a single file intake
  • Entire sub-assembly is raised and lowered by 2x 3/4” bore cylinders to bring it in and out of the frame perimeter.
  • System is driven by 1 Neo550 motor on a 18:1 VersaPlanetary gear box prevents stalling, but still Intakes the Power Cells quickly.

Cargo Indexer with Integrated Cargo Launcher

  • 18x 2” diameter indexing wheels
  • 2 sensored independent zones
  • Each powered by a NEO550 motor with a 18:1 VersaPlanetary gearbox
  • First stage also drives intake
  • Integrated threaded holes to mount control system components
  • 2x Falcon 500 motors
  • 1:1 gear ratio
  • Limelight 2.0 vision system capable of auto aiming when driver commands.
  • Lightweight & strong polycarbonate hood
  • 4x 4” diameter flywheel
  • Capable of scoring in both high and low goals

2x Lift/Climber Gearbox

 

  • Constant Force Spring extend
  • Driven retract powered by 2 Falcon 500 motors
  • 1.0625” bore air cylinder powers a pneumatic brake to prevent back driving
  • Reduction 28.125:1

Lift Frame / Climber

  • 2 stage telescoping design
  • Extends from 24” to 60”
  • Enables Traversal Climb
  • System rotates front to back using a 5/8” bore cylinder allowing for multi rung climb

Auto / Tele-op

  • Autonomous program launches Cargo into low goal then drives over Initiation Line
