High Stakes Robot 1

2024

This is High Stakes Robot 1, the first competition robot I built for the VEX V5 High Stakes season under team 38535C, and my very first VEX robot ever. The drivetrain is 333 RPM with 4 motors on 8 wheels. The intake runs an 11W preroller that is chain driven from the motor attached to it, along with an 11W conveyor. The conveyor sits on a 4 bar lift powered by two 11W red motors, which let me score wall stakes and also served as a concept for climbing the tower.
