2020 Robot

Dubbed "Everybot II", our 2020 robot was made to accomplish the goals of the FIRST’s challenge: INFINITE RECHARGE. The simple yet effective robot features an intake that feeds cargo into the shooter, launching out power cells to score points. In our current season, we implement the robot as an exemplar to test out new code and give new members an overview of the FRC program.
