Hero Robot

The Hero robot is a remote-controlled robot, which Triton Robotics at UC San Diego builds for the RoboMaster Competition. It fires 42mm ammunition at 16 m/s and acts as the primary offensive unit in the competition.

During my time at Triton Robotics, I have worked on Hero worked on two separate design iterations of it.

This video shows the robots our team took to the RMNA 2023 in Seattle Washington, at the University of Washington. This past year, we competed in RMNA2024 in Boulder Colorado, at Colorado University, Boulder!

We will soon be hosting RMNA 2025 at UC San Diego in June of this year!
