​

DRIVE BASE:
  • 1/8’’ Aluminum drive base chassis designed through CAD software, and then water-jetted and bent
  • 4 Wheel Mecanum drive train, along with two additional compliant wheels to prevent “bottoming out” on the ramp and two traction wheels to grant the ability of a double climb successfully
  • Pulley size differentiates to balance out wheel speeds
  • 4 CIM’s + Four Andymark Toughbox Micro Gearbox Ratio: 10.7:1, and compatible with Andymark Toughbox Mini
  • Top Speed: 11 feet/second (7.5mph)
  • Designed to withstand contact inflicted from other robots and interaction with game elements
ELEVATOR:
  • 2-Stage Elevator, driven by chain, and utilizes bearing kits for smoother descent
  • NEO Brushless + VersaPlanetary ratio: 50:1
  • Carriage customized to decrease weight from the bearing kits
  • The control system fluidly combines the arm and elevator movement for rapid game piece placement.

ARM & INTAKE:
  • Arm mechanism is composed of a chain-driven four bar linkage system
  • BAG motor + VersaPlanetary ratio: 504:1
  • Intake:VersaPlanetary + BAG motor ratio: 7:1
  • Ability to handle cargo and hatch pieces
  • Intake includes hinged upper and lower tongs for better performance, and protection from collisions
  • Hatches are wheeled on through four 3'' compliant wheels, and shot out when reversed.
  • With a press of the button, the robot autonomously aligns and places games pieces ​
LINEAR ACTUATOR CLIMBERS:
  • Three Steel Rack and Pinion mechanism - One located on each parallel side, and the third in the rear
  • BAG Motor + VersaPlanetary ratio: 35:1
  • Ability to climb directly to Tier 3 or Tier 2
  • Climb is fully autonomous, utilizing magnetic limit switches to limit travel
  • Reliably climbs in 11 seconds to HAB 3
  • With certain alliance partners, Peggy has the potential to score a double climb on level 3.

Team 2539 2019 Season Brief:
The Krypton Cougars 2539 competed at the FIRST World’s Championship in Detroit Michigan April 24th to 27th. The ending of this competition marked the end of our season, and we now progress into the off-season.

     Team 2539 would like to thank it's gracious sponsors for all their support and funding this season. To debrief our journey, our Team set off our season by performing as the #1 Qualifier and the #1 Alliance Captain at both of our FMA District events held in the Philadelphia area earlier in March. Competing at the Mid-Atlantic District Championship at Lehigh University in early April, we finished 21st out of 128 teams in the District to qualify to compete at the FIRST World Championships in Detroit Michigan where 408 of the top FRC teams in the world competed in 6 divisions. Our Team was placed in arguably one of the most skillful and strenuous divisions, the Archimedes Division.

     Qualifying 5th out of 68 teams in the Archimedes Division, the Krypton Cougars became the #4 Alliance Captain, but we sadly lost eventually in the playoffs to the division champion, and World’s finalist. Our Team though certainly did not leave with a conscious feeling of loss or defeat. We felt a strong sense of accomplishment and joy. We performed exceptionally well at all of our competitions, and shattered records from how we placed in the past.

    Concluding our best season in our 12-year history with a record of 41-16-3, our Team and the rest Krypton Cougar’s community are looking forward to the off-season. In this period, we take part in many community events, perform sponsor demos, and compete in off-seasons competitions where new members and mentors are encouraged and urged to join Team 2539 and learn about the world of FIRST Robotics.

    We ask our sponsors to continue their generous sponsorship, and to continue to support and invest in our student’s futures in the STEM fields of the world. This is just the beginning of our journey to impact the world, and inspire the leaders of tomorrow’s new innovations.
