Professor X-Drive
The 2017-2018 season Seniors main robot. With its fluent 6-bar lift and unique 6 high-strength motor X-Drive, it's bound to not disappoint.
Although it's not the best robot around the block, it proved to be a big learning curve for the Senior team.
The photos you see above were mostly taken at the 2018 Nationals, held at Pinehurst School in Auckland.
Speedy Junior
After our 2017-2018 season ended, we decided to revisit an idea for a robot we had more than 2 years ago - Speedy. Speedy would have had 2 wheels which were geared to hell, so that its top speed could be (in theory) comparable to that of a cars.
Unfortunately, we didn't get around to making it them - but we did now! This kid has a top speed of around 14km/h (4m/s), this guy can be difficult to match pace with!
He also has a 'steering wheel' at the front of the robot, which gives it some ability to also turn.
