  • Win vs. AMC
  • Tie vs. RoboIME

  • Loss vs. UBC Thunderbots

Good Aspects

• Significantly more mechanically consistent than previous iterations

Problems

• No Chipper
• Foam dribblers disintegrated slowly while dribbling
• Dribbler didn't damp incoming balls very well, especially after the foam was damaged
• MBed is incapable of doing enough floating point calculations to process IMU inputs for motion control
• The Decawave radios cut out when the referee walks in between them

Changes/Improvements

• Develop a chipper
• Add mechanical damping to the dribbler
• Creating a custom version of the MBed based on the Cortex-M7
• Consider other radio options
