The Robot: Pigxel
Pigxel is Exploding Bacon’s 13th robot, built to play the 2018 FIRST Robotics Competition Game “POWER UP”. Built to specialize at scoring in the switch and exchange, Pigxel is a low-to-the-ground, high-speed cube scorer. With a 24 feet-per-second high gear, Pigxel can race across the field and assault the opponent’s vault, or alternatively leverage its rotating arm to quickly and efficiently fill the Exchange. This season Pigxel will be competing at the Orlando Regional, South Florida Regional, and the FIRST Championship in Houston. We look forward to posting more information as the season progresses!
