In their words
The robot features a swing axle that helps maintain equal weight distribution across all four wheels. We also utilize a gathering mechanism driven by a servo motor. The gathering mechanism includes additional servos that control mechanical arms used to collect victims. After collection, the mechanism transfers the victims to a dedicated storage area located at the rear of the robot.
Our robot consists of two stacked levels, both of which serve as printed circuit boards. The first level contains all the electronics required for the line-following section of the program, while the second level houses the brain of the robot—a Raspberry Pi Pico 2—along with a Pixy2 camera and the complete victim collection system.
The entire robot was designed in Fusion 360, a process that took approximately six months. The design is based on a previous version that we used at our most recent RoboCup competition. We focused on optimizing the model for efficient 3D printing and precise component placement.
What truly distinguishes our robot from many competitors is its custom-designed printed circuit board.
