Trending Robots

Disclaimer: The Trending Robots section does not allow teams to directly build an exact copy of a robot, as that would violate rules R2, G2, and G4. Instead, The Trending Robots section provides resources, statements, and tips that do not allow teams to create an exact copy, but rather allow them to take inspiration and create their own version of the design.

Revolver

Let's Build! >

The Revolver can store up to 4 stacks of 3, using its four compartments. It is a difficult build, but it is worth the hassle, given that it can score up to 369 points!

PinTex (180 Bot)

Let's Build! >

This robot uses a 180-degree arm that holds two stacks of two and places them onto a beam. The beam is then lifted to create a "Y" stack. It is difficult to drive but is a simple yet effective build.

Pinhead

Let's Build! >

Introduced by Ben Lipper, Pinhead is a moderately easy build that will perform beautifully on the field. It will intake up to 3 pins inside of its arm before placing the stack anywhere on the field.

Uptake

Let's Build! >

Similar to the "Revolver" bot, Uptake uses two conveyor belts on either side to pull a pin up a less steep path to place in a claw in the back, that can hold up to 1 stack of 3. It is a little difficult to build.

Box

Let's Build! >

This is a brand-new design that has been proven to be one of the most efficient designs yet. Originating in China, the "Box" uses a similar scoring technique to the PinTex. It is difficult to build.
