VEXU team XD from Tauranga, New Zealand, is proud to present our skills robot, Disparity by Design.
For those who may not know, VEXU primarily differs from VRC in that teams are allowed to build more than one robot, teams have a 24” size limit, and various additional components such as custom electronics and 3D printed parts are allowed.
Disparity by Design is a purpose-built skills robot, built with the primary goal of qualifying us for the VEXU World Championships through the global skills rankings. We will be taking it to worlds to compete in the skills challenges.
We will avoid answering technical questions in this thread (eg. motor distribution, gear ratios etc.) as to not encourage potential copies, however we will be releasing our design summary notebook after the World Championship which details both this robot, and our other robot designed for match play, Endgame. If you have a non-technical question about this robot then please feel free to ask.
In VexU you dont need many cones per mogo to win the match so 12 was probably enough for them. A team like this is going to dominate in auto because is 60 seconds rather than 15.
Definitely the caliber of robot I would expect from the members of XD. You’ve set the bar extremely high once again, congrats. Can’t wait to see Endgame.
