Robots[edit]

2019 Competition Robot - Flip

Main Article: 2019 Robot (Flip)

Competition Robot[edit]

The 2019 Competition Robot was named Flip. It consisted of a sideways, off-center elevator with a pivoting four-bar claw which picked up cargo when open and hatches when closed. The front of the robot had an intake mounted on struts, which also served as the front half of the climber. Two vertical pneumatic pistons served as the back half of the climber.

2102's 2019 competitive record is below:

* 2102 took a red card in Quals 66 for extending past the allowable height in the Hab zone.

Other Robots[edit]

The practice robot was named Flop. It was nearly identical to Flip although it had much more wear and tear, living up to its name by the end of the season.

Before the 2019 season, two robots (Tick and Tock) were built to compete in the Battle at the Border offseason event, playing the 2018 game, Power Up. There were intended to be two identical robots, but only Tock ended up being completed. It also played Destination: Deep Space at Wings over Camarillo, as its Power Cube intake was also able to pick up Cargo, and its 6 CIM drivetrain was able to play somewhat capable defense.

Branding[edit]

Team branding in 2019 was (add details here).
