⤵️ Why Watch?
In this episode of FTC Robots Revealed, we travel to the European Premier Event to interview Finalist Alliance Captain, Team 19043 Cyliis from Romania. This team is a powerhouse of mechanical knowledge, and they walk us through the incredible design choices that led to their success. We take a look at their full differential gearbox that powers multiple systems, their clever over-centre linkages that lock without needing motor power, and their use of line break sensors and custom mini box tube slides. This interview is a masterclass in clever mechanical design, providing principles you can apply to your own robots for future FTC seasons.
