Powercut Robotics
First Tech Challenge #25268 - UK 497
About Us
Hi! We're Powercut Robotics, #25268 (UK-497) from Langley Park School for Boys in South London.
As the primary team of a Championship Organisation, we assist other teams witin our organisation and outside and promote STEM and robotics in our community
CENTERSTAGE 2023-24
We attended the South East Regional 2 at Harris Sutton on the 23rd March. We won the Innovate award for our intake system, and Finalist Alliance Captain award.
We attended the UK championship on 21st June. We won National Think Award and were Division 1 Finalist Alliance 1st Pick. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers that made this season possible for us!
Outreach
We are dedicated to expanding uptake of STEM and assisting other FTC teams.
We are working with a local team at Ravenswood to assist their robotics program, and are pushing STEM in local primary schools, and will be running sessions for local primaries to experiment with engineering concepts using Lego.
Control
Our control system uses complex algoriths and theories to maximise on-field performance. We use many advanced systems, such as Proportional, Integral, Derivative controllers and FeedForward controllers, especially for pathing during autonomous.
Design
Our Into the Deep robot is one of the first in the UK to implement a parallel plate drivetrain, allowing better weight distribution and a reduced footprint, making our robot excedingly maeverable and space efficient.
