- Added a second row to intake noodles
- Replaced the side plates
- Changed the X-rail Actobotic Linear Slides to goBilda Viper Slides

This was our robot for our third qualifier in the 2021 – 2022 season, Freight Frenzy. Our robot had a 3D printed flexible intake, a linear slide outtake with a 3D printed box, an improved carousel wheel, and an improved 3D printed ramp. We used 6-inch mecanum wheels to drive over the barriers that block the warehouse during Freight Frenzy. We qualified for states with this robot.
2020 – 2021 Season
Maryland Tech Invitationals Robot
After the normal season, the team went back to the drawing board and redesigned the intake and arm. We switched from a side to a roller intake. We also added a bevel gear to the arm motor to help with space management and durability. We also replaced the cardboard side plates with plastic side plates to make them more durable and secure. We were able to submit a 213-point video submission for MTI.

This was our design for the Ultimate Goal season, We used a one wheel shooter, with the barrel of the robot located in the shooter. Our intake was a long track with multiple compliant wheels that helped ferry the rings up to the shooter. Our robot also utilized a mecanum drivetrain. The side-plates were added on for MD States. We were able to make it to states with this design.
