1 of 3 robots in the world capable of delivering and scoring ducks simultaneously due to spring-loaded carousel spinner, flexible intake, and versatile linear-slide deposit system.
Only robot in the world that scores without driving away from the wall or rotating a turn-table due to fast linear-slide deposit system and off-center intakes.
Control of deposit position in 3D space without necessitating robot movement.

MTI Solo Run
UNIQUE: Our drivetrain is a custom-designed parallel plate design, made of CNC-Machined aluminum plates
VERSATILE: Thin enough to go around barriers, but also capable of going over
MANUEVERABLE: Mecanum wheels allow simultaneous translation and rotation in all directions.
FLUID: With rollers on the side of the drivetrain, it's able to safely run against walls enabling smooth, fluid motion
INNOVATIVE: Cable-pulley system, similar to prosthetic hands, retracts odometry to prevent damage when crossing barriers.
VERSATILE: dual-intakes powered by a single motor, so the robot functions equally when scoring in both Alliance and Shared Hubs.
FAST: high RPM flexible tubing creates high collection speed and minimalistic side wall design enables margin for error.
CLEAR-CUT: To transfer freight to the deposit, the intake simply reverses direction and spits it out, taking just 400 milliseconds
SECURE: 10+ Iterations of transfer systems enable 99.7% reliability for transferring freight to the deposit.
INTELLIGENT: A force sensor detects the presence of freight; a magnetic sensor detects when the intake has successfully lifted; a weigth sensor detects when freight has successfully transferred.
EFFICIENT: robot doesn't need to move to the shipping hub (it can just drive against the wall) to score freight
FAST: 5 feet of linear extension moving at 100 in./sec. (0.5 seconds full extension) powered by pulley system
VERSATILE AND CONTROLLABLE: Entire linear slide system rotates on a turn-table enabling 3D control of deposit bucket
COHERENT AND MULTI-PURPOSE DESIGN: efficient scoring in shared hub & alliance hub, and we have the extemely rare but high point-value ability of delivering and scoring ducks in endgame
