MEET OUR ROBOTS | Icedjavarobotics

IceBerg, 2025

Ice Berg is our 7th robot, built for the Reefscape season. Using swerve drive system and a claw-like arm, Ice Berg was able to both remove algae and score points with coral.

Ice Cubed, 2024

Ice Cubed is the team's 6th robot, built for the Crescendo season. This year we switched drive trains and used swerve for the first time. Ice Cubed featured a ground intake that flipped up into the shooter. The team also added aluminum climbers to our robot this year.

Icespresso Shot, 2023

Icespresso Shot is the team’s fifth robot designed to tackle the unique challenges of the Charged Up season. It again featured a Mecanum drivetrain. An added secondary jump drivetrain system was incorporated for added traction on the Charge Station. Icespresso featured a pneumatic cylinder system to shoot a cube off a small platform during autonomous to increase scoring potential. Our cargo intake was a telescoping tube with a claw utilizing flexible wheels to grip the cubes and cones for transport to the energy grid.

Cold Brew, 2022

Cold Brew is the teams fourth robot that was built for the Rapid React season. The robot again features a Mecanum drivetrain that shot large tennis style cargo into a hopper. The team also decided to add a climbing system to increase our robot's versatility. Our robot's intake featured Arms that drop down to pick up cargo from the ground and feed it into the elevator, our intake could only carry two cargo.

Below Zero 2020-2021

Below Zero was our third robot that we built just before the COVID pandemic hit. This robot featured mecanum drive. The robot had an intake which picked up and dropped nerf-type balls into a hopper area using a conveyor belt system. With as many as three balls in the lineup, the robot then could shoot the balls out of the shooter to targets as high as a basketball hoop.

Zamboni, 2019

Zamboni was our second-year robot for the Destination Deep Space game, designed to place cargo and hatch covers. It used a 2-speed gearbox with two CIM motors per gearbox and an eight-wheel drivetrain with Omni and Colson Performa wheels for better mobility and tight turning. The hatch mechanism used suction equipment from our sponsor FIPA Inc. to place hatch panels, and a shooting attachment with two 775-Pro motors picked up and launched cargo into the cargo ship. Zamboni helped our team win the Finalist Award at UNC Asheville and the Alliance Winners Award at the THOR off-season event.

Cappafrio, 2018

Cappafrio was the robot that we built our rookie year as a robotics team. This robot featured a 6 wheel tank drive, with a 2 speed transmission. The robot had two attachments, one being a bucket for placing cubes, and the other attachment being an intake that could maneuver cubes around the field. Our focus with this robot was to be fast and efficient, and play counter defense on the other team. This robot utilized pneumatic wheels, a robust custom vex chassis, and 6 cim motors to drive. Using 6 cim motors enabled us to have lots of torque and speed, accompanied with a low and high gear in order to give pushing power when facing off with another robot, or speed up to get to the other side of the field. This robot was one of the best counter defense robots in the NC 2018 Power Up season.
