An Unfinished Munitio

Munitio is the Latin word for defense—this word shows the desire our team has to be a great defensive robot. However Munitio, our 2010 Breakaway robot, is not just a small, maneuverable defense machine.

She serves the defensive side of the competition well: Munitio is equipped with a shield to block balls and two frontal spinning cylinders to allow easy ball control. We also can score using a pneumatics powered kicker.

Despite the lower power provided with the wheels, four mecanum wheels allow Munitio to be extremely maneuverable and give her the ability of strafing. Munitio’s slim design allows her to go under the tunnels, as well as giving her access on the bumps. She can strafe on the bumps as well, giving another strategic advantage. (dubbed the Team 930 Strafe).

We are really looking forward to this year’s game! Munitio should prove herself a great robot once we get to Milwaukee for the regional. Best of luck to you, Munitio.
