Robot Systems

Iterating fast, machining smarter, scoring cleaner.

Our design history moves from rookie mecanum builds to custom panels, autonomous sorting, odometry, and reliable game-piece launchers.

V4 Magic Machine

Improved iteration of V3 with a more reliable launching system. Built a 12-ball sorted autonomous with leave points and placed 9th in Blue Crab division at Chesapeake Championship.
