Since 2006, Team 1912 has designed and built innovative robots to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition. Each robot represents countless hours of dedication, engineering excellence, and the collaborative spirit of our team.
Kraken-driven Mk4i swerve modules with triple-Limelight vision system
2-stage elevator, articulated end effector, and coral indexing using four beam-break sensors
Advanced PathPlanner autos, robust driver-assist systems, and custom slide alignment
CNC/3D-printed structure designed for 6–7 second cycles
Mk4i L2 swerve drive
Lightweight under-bumper intake, on-the-fly shooter with auto-aim, fast amp cycling system, and dual-stage climber for both low and high chain climbs
Multiple autonomous routines, LED driver indicators, and versatile scoring from all field positions
Swerve Drive Specialties Mk4i with REV Neo/REV SparkMax and CTRElectronics CANcoder
ThriftyBot elevator kit driven by a REV through-shaft single-speed gearbox with two NEOs; custom intake deployed using a chain-linked virtual-4-bar linkage
Swerve Drive Specialties Mk4 with REV Neo/REV SparkMax and CTRElectronics CANcoder
Custom intake, indexer, shooter, and a climber capable of reaching the high bar
Reused the 2020 robot with new code for trajectory-following autonomous using USDigital encoders and KauaiLabs NavX gyro

Built on the kit-of-parts chassis with a roller intake, hopper, indexer, elevator, and a shooter built on the Greyt turret. Competed in the semi-finals at the Arkansas Regional before the season was halted due to the pandemic.
Built on a kit-of-parts chassis; excelled at cargo-station filling and consistent mid- or high-level climbing.
Faced challenges during the season, serving as a valuable learning experience.
Named to align with the steampunk style of the game.
Low-profile robot on a 6-wheel custom chassis with 8-inch pneumatic wheels designed to navigate game defenses.
Equipped with a large pneumatic cylinder to lift tote stacks and recycling bins; utilized mecanum wheels for side-to-side movement to align with stacks.
Catapult powered by custom elastic bands made from heavy-duty speargun tubing, launched using a cam release to project large exercise balls into goals.
Double-pneumatic-wheel frisbee launcher with dual PID loops fed by optical rotary encoders for shooter speed control; included a pair of pneumatic cylinders to hang on the bottom rung of the pyramid.
Spinning wheel launcher for foam balls, roller intake, surgical-tubing conveyor, and pneumatic lift for ball intake and indexing.
Low-center-of-gravity robot with a welded aluminum frame; spring-driven ball kick plate; hinged top for easy access to internal components.
Competed under the name "Nuts & Volts" with traditional blue and orange colors.
First robot build; team was called the Northshore Krewe and had different team colors before adopting the current blue and orange scheme.
