Robot Swervin' Mervin'
Year 2006
Competition

FIRST Robotics Competition



Swervin' Mervin was an awesome robot. It was able to reliably score multiple balls in the center goal in Aim High. Combined with its highly maneuverable swerve drive and it's ability to pick up balls by driving over them, it was a force to reckon with, and it won the 2006 Peachtree Regional.

Due to weight issues, the robot had to be "Swiss-cheesed", a process in which the noncritical components are cut with a hole saw in order to reduce weight.

Drivetrain

Swervin' Mervin' had a very special drivetrain - swerve drive. In short, this allowed the to move in any direction very easily by simple rotating the direction of the wheels individually.
