Team 323Z Aftershock is proud to present our current NBN robot, HERO5. We competed with some really awesome teams this past weekend, and 323Y was a lot of fun to play with!
Robot Design:
Single wheel flywheel/dual LP’s
High speed drive
High efficiency intake
Here is the final match of the day:
Feel free to drop any questions below.
Good luck to all teams this season!

That is very impressive. Congratulations. This does make me wonder what World’s will be like though? It seems like there is going to be 30 seconds of total dead time at the end matches if teams are already this good…3 months before Worlds. I know there is lifting too, but that potentially only takes seconds.
We are currently deciding between a high lift and a low lift. Over winter break, we built a modular passive high elevation (no motors or pneumatics), and we still have that together. However, we may go with a passive low elevation instead. Passive high elevation added a significant amount of complexity and weight to the robot.
Thanks! I’m thrilled with how auton came together. We used double LP’s back when we had the turret, and they really are not necessary (with the exception of skills). Currently, we are trying to migrate all our match shooting back over to our flywheel and dedicate the LPs to skills.
It is unfortunately unnecessary. The only weak point in the turret design was gyro inaccuracy, even with averaging and filtering. I’m currently working to bring about a fast, accurate turret for VexU. Hopefully that will come together well
Can I ask what kind of flywheel speed control you are using? Any any advice for switching from a 6 motor flywheel to a 4 motors flywheel? Also what ratio flywheel are you using?
The idea of this robot is very similar to our robot, we too have 2 catapults and a short range flywheel. Though we are using catapults and not linear pistons. Nice robot . Also, could we have a close up of the intake, I am curious.
