We designed a new and unique elevator subsystem for our robot to reach Level 3 on the "reef" with speed and stability. The elevator subsystem allows our robot to quickly and reliably score game pieces on the upper level of the field.

With optical sensors mounted on the elevator, our robot can automatically stop at the correct height to help drivers save more time in the compeittion.

This year's robot features a Coral Shooter specifically designed to launch "coral" game pieces for the 2025 game season. Engineered for both power and accuracy, this subsystem allows for efficient scoring from various locations on the field, contributing significantly to consistent match performance.

Beyond launching, the Coral Shooter subsystem is designed for acquiring game pieces directly from the human player at the "coral station". This integration streamlines the scoring cycle, allowing for faster acquisition and subsequent launching of game pieces.

Our robot is equipped with Limelight cameras, enabling sophisticated automatic target alignment. By leveraging vision processing and identifying AprilTags positioned on the field, this system significantly enhances aiming capabilities, directly assisting drivers in improving shooting precision and reducing scoring errors during fast-paced gameplay.

Utilizing a dual Limelight camera setup, the robot gains robust tracking information. We mounted one Limelight 2 at the front of the robot for "reef" localization, and one Limelight 3A at the back in order to provide localization data of "coral stations". This automatic alignment capability minimizes the time drivers need for manual aiming, freeing them to focus on strategy and improving the overall speed and reliability of scoring actions, particularly when coordinating with the Coral Shooter and Elevator Subsystem.
