Xcentrics Robotics - a FRC Team

Xcentrics FRC 2340's thoughts and prayers go out to 4418 Team Impulse and STEM School in Highlands Ranch.

Some new to Xcentrics equipment. A little leg work from some non- mentor Xerox employees saved a

from making it to the scrap heap. Recycling would yield $20... for the team, it's a fantastic upgrade to some key shop tools.

Thanks to Xerox and its generous, caring employees.

FRC 2340 First Inspires Video We are so thankful to all contributors of this video! We hope that all viewers enjoy. Our mission is to spread awareness about STEM for all students interest...

Mounting the acquisition arms to the elevator and making a few adjustments. The watchful eye of a future FIRST Robotics superstar. With both of her parents FIRST alum coming back as mentors it's embedded in her genome.

Assembling the new ultra light acquisition arms. We saved about half the weight by replacing 0.125" aluminum with Lexan. A few cuts, holes for bearings and some bends for stiffening and they are nearly ready. We also turned the ends of the shafts to recess in the bearings so we could eliminate couplings on the ends.

Milling components for a custom gearbox to run both acquisition arms with a single motor.

We are excited to be competing at the Buckeye Regional this weekend in Cleveland, OH. The event Web page is:

The "Event Info" link has lots of information and I think there are links to watch live streaming.
Good luck ladies - drive it like you stole it... it gone in 135 seconds.

Some of our robotics girls found each other after the May Day celebration and got a picture together!
