Deadspot
Dead Spot, our 2020 robot, has been our most complicated robot to date. Dead Spot saw the implementation of multiple new machining practices involving the first use of a CNC and the ambitious use of hobby 3d printing and culminated in a robot that featured a custom machined turret and West Coast Drive Train. The software for Dead Spot took many leaps from previous years by implementing controls for autonomous functionality.
