redX was designed as a three day collaboration with Parker Robinson for the 2nd F4 Network CADathon (a CAD analog to hackathons), and came in 4th out of 19 submissions.
redX is designed to pick up and place flags in order to score points while traversing a hill-covered field. The robot features a five degree-of-freedom primary manipulator, robust drivetrain to tackle the field’s numerous hills, and tight control system packaging in order to create a robot with a low center of mass as not to tip while carrying the game’s large flags.
