2010 was, without a doubt, our most successful season. At our first event, the New York City Regional, all the teams were walking around saying that we would be their first pick. We ended up being the first pick of the number 1 alliance captain, 341. We joined forces with 341 and blazed a trail through every alliance in the elimination rounds, winning the New York City Regional for the second time.

For our amazing autonomous mode, which often scored both the balls it picked up, we earned the Rockwell Automation Innovation in Control Award. If that was not enough, we also were an alliance captain at the Connecticut regional and won the most prestigious award in F.I.R.S.T., the Chairman's award, at the Connecticut Regional making 2010 the first year we qualified 2 times for the championship. Then at the Championship in Atlanta our President of Engineering, Seth Berg, was chosen as part of the first group of Dean's List honorees. He has gone on to be one of many 694 graduates that has studied at MIT. In 2010 the team saw a large influx of newbies who were just as passionate and hard working as the veterans. During the six week Build Season, the team often stayed until 8 PM to work on the bot. The designs for the robot were finished within the first 2 weeks, while team pressed to build the robot in the remaining time. Our six-wheel drive train had a dropped center wheel built to allow easy movement across bumps. Our kicker was inspired by a cam design from an MIT project, and was capable of kicking soccer balls from one end of the field to the other. The team initially decided to ignore the hanging aspect of the game, but a few team members and mentors stubbornly continued building an award-winning hanger. The ability of Donovan to hang at the end of each match scored us many points and contributed greatly to our victory at the New York City Regional.

While the engineers worked hard to design and build the robot, as well as the field, the programmers were also working hard at their end. Before the season began, the senior programmers taught newbies how to use and program in Java, making the change from C++. Then when build season kicked off, everyone was ready to go. New and old programmers worked together to convert old code into Java, as well as generate new code for the autonomous period and the robots camera function. Multiple routines for the autonomous period were developed anticipating many different situations. A combination of rotary encoders, a gyroscope and a camera targeting system was used to auto-align our robot to the goal. Our autonomous period was one of the best at the New York Regional.

2011 for StuyPulse could be described with two words: roller coaster. After kickoff in January, we started once more to design, build and program our robot from scratch. After six weeks of intense work, we were rewarded with DESdroid, our new robot for the season. We showed up at the New York City Regional with a lot of confidence and we got our teeth kicked in. Through great strategy we made it to the quarter finals but the robot was not up to par. We won the Autodesk Animation Award at the New York City Regional which was a giant step for our very young animation team. Also, to his complete surprise, Alex Carrillo, our Director of Programming, became a Dean's List Finalist at the New York Regional. We showed up in Connecticut with a new attitude and a new mini-bot known as the WildCard. We played as hard as we possibly could, but again did not advance past the quarter-finals. During the award ceremonies, however, we walked away with the very prestigious Chairman's award for the second year in a row which qualified us for the championship. At the championships we played better than ever after a coaching change and many minor adjustments to the robot. For the first time ever we were an alliance captain at the Championship. We joined forces with 195 and, for the second year in a row, 341. We finished in the quarter-finals, captaining the 5th alliance that gave the alliance it faced quite a run for their money.

In designing our 2011 robot, DESdroid, we had two main goals: fluid inner-tube placement and quick mini-bot deployment. To accomplish our tube placement goal, our VP of Engineering, Jake Potter, designed and built a grabber that could acquire, manipulate, and place a tube. The arm's main component was a hand with four rollers wrapped in tread and connected by polycord. The rollers on top and bottom spun in different directions to acquire, rotate and place the tubes. For the first time in our team's history, we used a mechanum drivetrain setup. The mechanum wheels allowed the robot to strafe and easily change positions to place the tubes on the rack. We accomplished our mini-bot deployment goal with a drawbridge and a rack and pinion motor setup. The drawbridge was a guider that aligned the deployer with the pole. The drawbridge was kept up against the robot until the end game when it was lowered. The rack and pinion moved the minibot plate up to so it could attach to the pole.

Our mini bot, the WildCard, utilized an ultra light aluminum frame, a neodymium rare earth magnet pole attachment system, and direct drive shafts. Wildcard accelerated up the pole in two seconds and helped us to win numerous matches, quickly becoming one of our favorite robots.

Wildcard made team history by going undefeated throughout the entire regional.
Along with teams 1796 and 743, we won the event, qualifying us for World Championships in Detroit later this month.In addition, we also qualified to compete at the championships by winning the Chairman’s Award, the most prestigious award that can be award to a FRC Team.

Congratulations to our coach, James Lonardo, for winning the Woodie Flowers Finalist, and our Vice President of Engineering, Navid Kashem, for winning Dean’s List Finalist!

They also manage the design and development of all human interfaces and control systems. The PoSE is responsible for the production of documentation concerning the control system on all levels, such as pinout sheets and systems check guidelines. They work closely with the PoE to effectively manage the development of the control system alongside the hardware. The PoSE also collaborates with the strategy team to develop effective solutions for both the teleoperated and autonomous modes, as well as the Business team to coordinate events and regional activities, such as seminars. The PoSE must effectively manage the software development team in order to accomplish these responsibilities and must have the same level of familiarity with the robot as the PoE.
