Robots

Picture this. It's 2025. Water game. You and your friends are trying to come up with a name for your robot. You go home and fall asleep, and in your dreams you see a figure. A tall, tan, blonde man in khaki workwear, murmuring "Name him after me...", then vanishing. You wake up in a cold sweat and frantically message the discord. "We must name the robot.....Steve Irwin." Eventually your team settles on that name with a robotic spin, and thus...Steve Swervin' is born.

2024, Cresendo

Our all new 2024 Crescendo competition bot, following our beloved celebrity-robot pun naming scheme! Traveling at over 20 ft/s, and shooting game pieces with wheels spinning quicker than 6000 rpms, Frank Sinbotra is our beloved robot for the 2024 season, following the design strategy previously seen in Tom Janks, "proudly simple".

Drivetrain: MaxSwerve (High-speed Pinions)

Mechanism: Shooter for Speaker, under the bumper intake, Amp Bar.

Notable Additions: Five piece auto, limelight auto-pickup, Slamper!

Named such because it was 1. faster than the team's previous Tom Janks, and 2. held together primarily by zip ties. Zippy was built for Carrborobotics' members to brush up on their robot-building skills before being thrown into the 2024 season.
