and our robot “Selqet”

For the 2023 season we built “Selqet” named after the Egyptian scorpion goddess Selqet for its scorpion-like telescoping arm. This was the first year that we introduced swerve drive, an omnidirectional drive-train in which all wheels are independently steered. Selqet utilized a telescoping arm to pick up and place both cubes and cones. Along with a telescoping arm we also incorporated a cube shooter to help us more efficiently score game pieces. With the help of Selqet we were able to advance to District Championships for the second year in a row.
