Pneumatic Striker Holonomic Soccer Robot
Engineered by Tamizh Tech, this mobile robotic platform utilizes 4-wheel omnidirectional motion planning paired with a fast-actuating pneumatic kicking piston operating at up to 8 bar for rapid dribbling and high-velocity strikes.
Instant Holonomic Maneuverability & Pneumatic Strike
- ✓4-wheel omnidirectional drivetrain enables instantaneous lateral crabbing.
- ✓Fast-actuating pneumatic piston delivers repeatable strike force up to 8 bar.
- ✓Enclosed 2mm aluminum body protects sensitive pressure gauges and solenoid circuits.
The Engineering Challenge
Problem / Objective
Differential drive robots require turning before moving laterally, making rapid ball interception difficult during high-speed tournament play.
