- Features
DEWBOT IV made it to its first finals match ever on a rear-wheel drive, 80/20 fork lift-catapult. We zipped around the field NASCAR-style while hurtling huge yoga balls over a set of monkey bars. Our more gentle fork lift setting was used to place them back on the bars at the end of each match for bonus points.

Our rookie robot, DEWBOT I, was a competent scorer, excluding the high central goal (which it could not reach). A challenging robot to steer, but it drove straight like nobody's business.
- 4WD Tank
- (4) 8" Kitbot wheels
- Single-pivot, winch/block & tackle-driven arm
- Pneumatic double extending arm
- 2nd arm to knock down tetris during autonomous
Off-Season Projects
We first because a year-round team in 2008, and we don't limit developing new robots to the annual FRC game! Check out some of the many other projects we've done in our off-season hours.
2012 Touchdown Tango
In our first student-only project since something like DEWBOT IV, 1640's students split into two teams and conceptualized and prototyped robots. They endeavored to play our first full-fledged fake FRC game: Touchdown Tango!
2011 Design Classes
In the summer of 2011, we started our first real design classes. Though we didn't have one major robot project, students had a blast with weekly games like our Tower Challenge and "Tennis Ball Tumble".
2010 - The Road to IRI
New DEWBOT VI spins its stuff
Though the summer of 2010 was still all about DEWBOT VI, we made several improvements on the road to our first all-star Indiana Robotics Invitational.
2009 Pivot Drive Development
Building on our 2008 Drivetrain Development, during the summer of 2009 we managed our first true swerve drive (independently steered wheels). This VEX prototype gave us the experience to try our first FRC Pivot Drive on DEWBOT VI.
2008 Drivetrain Development
After DEWBOT IV, we decided that post-season 2008 would be the era of drivetrain development. With our work cut out for us, we managed 4 different drive VEX prototypes/CAD projects:
- 6 Wheel Drive - VEX and CAD
- Mecanum (holonomic) - CAD with VEX omniwheel analogs
- Twitch, our first biaxial drive - CAD (pneumatic actuation) and VEX (rack and pinion)
- Hypothetical FRC Chassis, our first pre-thought out FRC drivetrain (not that we did or could have used it in the real DEWBOT V) - CAD
