Engineering excellence through iterative design
Pushing the boundaries of autonomous robotics
From initial CAD concepts to the V3 final assembly
Driving the vision and operational excellence of DECODE RTX #32819.
Responsible for mechanical design, V3 assembly, and the turret system.
Implementing sensor fusion, Triple-Disc Odometry, and autonomous logic.
Bridging engineering and community through digital media.
Designed for "Touch-it-Own-it" acquisition using high-traction rubber wheels and a 3.7k RPM motor deep-mounted in the chassis.
The heart of our scoring efficiency. Our segmented "clover" geometry prevents jams and allows for high-cadence firing.
By engineering a custom DIY "Sandwich" bearing stack, we integrated rotation gears directly into the plates.
We use mathematical localization to overcome hardware limits, allowing the robot to understand its position in real-time.
From V1 to V3, we followed a rigorous engineering path validating physics with low-fidelity models.
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a global robotics community that prepares young people for the future through a suite of inclusive, team-based robotics programs. It’s more than just building robots; it’s about "Gracious Professionalism" and "Coopertition."
As part of the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), we are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format. It forces us to apply real-world math and science concepts while developing problem-solving and teamwork skills.
Through FIRST, we gain access to over $80 million in college scholarships and a network of professionals who are redefining the boundaries of STEM.
DECODE is a student-led robotics club dedicated to engineering excellence. We operate as a mini-tech company where students specialize in CAD Design, Java programming, mechanical assembly, and community outreach. Our mission is to bridge the gap between classroom theory and hands-on application.
In our lab, we don't just follow instructions—we iterate. From our early "Cardboard & Duct Tape" prototypes to our final V3 precision-engineered assembly, every component is a result of rigorous testing and data-driven design.
Beyond the workshop, we advocate for STEM education, mentor younger teams, and document our engineering journey to inspire the next generation of innovators. At DECODE, we aren't just building a bot; we're building the future.
