- Jagen |

Jagen
was designed to compete in the Rack ‘n Roll game. Jagen was built
primarily as a ramp style robot, allowing two alliance partners to drive
on top to score the 12” bonus scores. A retracting claw designed
built on one side of the ramp allow the possibility of utilizing the human
loading station and scoring on the rack. Jagen also had a two-stage deployment
scheme allowing it to raise one side of its ramp part way enabling the
claw mechanism to reach the second row of spiders. Jagen competed in both
the New Jersey Regional in Trenton and the Philadelphia regional held
at Drexel University. It also competed at several mini-regional events
including Wissahickon High Schools Ramp Riot and Monty Madness. As Team
834’s most successful robot ever, Jagen placed second with teams
539, 816, and team 399 at the Drexel regional and won Wissahickon High
Schools Ramp Riot along with alliance member’s team 25 and Team
1403. |

Monstructor |

Built for the Aim High game, this robot was designed to be a pure offensive
robot, using a mounted softball style shooter and a large self-sorting
storage bin. Monstructor's launcher utilizes four spinning wheels to
launch the balls. A camera pivots the shooter to find the green light
on the upper goal in autonomous, or during a match with the flick of
a switch. Once it finds the light, it will automatically release balls
from the shooter to score in the upper goal. The shooter provides a
backspin on the ball to move it higher in the air. The balls are stored
in the large "basket" above the shooter, which held over 20
balls at a time. We were picked by teams 357 and 272 to complete their
alliance for the Philadelphia Regional, and made it to the quarterfinals.

Nemesis |

Nemesis
was designed for the triple play game. Nemesis was one of the best robots
ever produced by the Southern Lehigh Spartechs. Placing second place
at the Drexel Regional along with teams 358 and 293. Nemesis was equipped
with two gripping arms for picking up the tetrahedrons and a unique
style for which we "slam dunked" the tetra's onto the large
field goals. Nemesis combined speed, maneuverability and control into
a fully loaded robot. The only remaining parts of Nemesis are its arm
assembly and its control board. Nemesis competed in both the New Jersey
Regional in Trenton and the Philadelphia regional held at Drexel University.
It was also competed at several mini-regional competitions including
Wissahickon High Schools Ramp Riot.

Atlas |

Atlas
was the Southern Lehigh Spartechs 2004 competing robot. Riding on four
pneumatic tires gave this robot a very bumpy ride. Many pounds over
weight this robot was shaved, drilled, and trimmed down, taking up many
hours on the hand drills. With an unfolding arm that extended to 9ft.
above the playing field, Atlas used a high torque winch and a carabineer
style grabbing mechanism, which lifted the robot clear off the floor
for bonus points. Atlas also had a 32" gripping arms for the yellow
2X field balls. This robot had it all: speed, efficiency, and did we
mention, style. Atlas competed in both the regional at Drexel University
and Wissahickon High Schools Ramp Riot.

JAWS |

This
highly innovative robot integrated technical mechanics with simple maneuverability
controls. Competing in the 2003 competition, Stack Attack, Team 834
participated in the regional completion in Drexel, PA, as well as the
Ramp Riot at Wissahickon High School. Jaws was equipped with two curved
grippers with a glass handling suction cup to secure Jaws to the bonus
area atop the ramp in the center of the arena. Built with a self made
gear box, Jaws suffered from many driveline problems.

Jerry Rigged |

The
first robot designed by Southern Lehigh was entered in the 2002 regional
competition at Drexel University and the Ramp Riot at Wissahickon High
School. Jerry Rigged won the Xerox Creativity Award for having the most
innovative robot design. Equipped with a shopping cart style basket
with a latex tubing bottom, Jerry Rigged excelled at picking balls up
from the floor. It was also equipped with a pneumatic grabber to grab
and pull mobile field goals around the field. Jerry Rigged was an excellent
debut robot for Southern Lehigh's rookie year. This started Team 834's
successful line of robots to follow.
