2022 - Rapid React

Meet Madame Mayhem!

The challenge for the 2022 FIRST Robotics Competition season was called Rapid React. In Rapid React, robots had to pick up balls, called cargo, and score them either in the upper or lower goal. At the end of the match robots also had to climb up slanted bars and got more points the higher they could climb.

Our robot, Madame Mayhem, could score two cargo at a time in the low goal, and climb up to the highest climbing bar. Madame Mayhem used a "west coast drive" style drive base, which is a 6 wheel drive with 3 wheels per side and the center wheel dropped an 1/8th of an inch to allow for easier turning.

For this season, team 60 competed at the Arizona North and Las Vegas regionals. In Arizona North, the team was captain of the finalist alliance. In Las Vegas, the team was captain of 8th seed alliance and finished in the quarterfinals. Team 60 also received the Gracious Professionalism Award in Las Vegas.

Robot abilities:

• Full traversal to the highest climbing bar
• Low goal scoring
• Carries two cargo at a time
• Autonomous scores preloaded cargo and backs up into scoring zone
