Our FRC Robots
"Pinkie Pie"

"MCR"
"MCR" - Our 2023 FRC Robot featured an ambitious, double-jointed arm with flexibility to pick up and score at any position. The "roll-y gripper" gave us added speed and strength in intaking, and this mechanism, coupled with our improved swerve drive, brought us large improvements in our cycle times!
