Discover the mechanics behind FTC Team 19043 Cyliis's robot, featuring a full differential gearbox and other genius mechanisms you can use in your own builds. ⤵️ 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. 🔧 1:1 CONSULTING Book a time → https://cal.com/brogan-pratt-a4gcx7 ⚙️ Hardware: The Best PETG Filament: https://amzn.to/4mnNloY As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. 📚 Chapters: 0:00 Intro 1:02 Game Breakdown 1:51 Game Strategy 2:37 Active Intake 3:49 Outtake 4:58 Transfer Method 7:02 Box Tube Slide 8:14 Misumi Slide Optimizations 8:50 Hang Mechanism 9:41 Differential Power Take Off 13:40 Specimen Compliance 14:25 Automations 16:00 Differential Explanation
