Project Timeline
Jan 2025 - Current
OVERVIEW
● Redesigned the drive pods of the robot using SolidWorks to make it lightweight, increasing compactness, and designing new
shock absorbers. Currently planning, designing, and creating drive pods as well as updating the robot chassis.
● 50% more efficient drivepods (in terms of shock absorption) while keeping the same size package as the previous year
