Space Cookies

01

We are [the best] part of VEX Robotics Team 1868 out of Mountain View, CA

 

02

Andromeda is built by a dynamic duo: Emily and Vivian as well as some guest stars on special days

 

03

We chose this name to continue our team's tradition of Greek constellations. In the past there's been Draco, Scorpius and Cygnus. However, it's time for a queen to take the throne.

 

04

This robot is designed to compete in the 2014-2015 VEX Skyrise Challenge.

 

05

Andromeda was designed, prototyped, built and programmed over less than 20 meetings.

 

06

Our team, the Space Cookies, have been competing now since 2012. This is the team's third year.

 

07

The entire Space Cookies team (we have 1868A, 1868D, 1868J & 1868Z) consists of girls ranging from 7th through 12th grade.

 

08

Andromeda uses high speed motors with mecanum wheels on her chassis, meaning she can drive forward, backward, rotate and crabwalk in both directions.

 

09

Although Andromeda had a 10-bar linkage for a while, she settled on an 8-bar linkage in her final design.

Most importantly, we value innovating in a fun and safe environment. This robot is the result of the collaboration of many unique individuals and we're proud of her despite any challenges we may face.
