HydroPie

2025 Game Season

HydroPie, also named Big Nose after one of our alumnus, features a powerful three-stage telescoping elevator for rapid and stable vertical movement. Using a hybrid chain-and-rope drive, it combines high load capacity with lightweight efficiency. Guided by precision-machined wheels and pulleys, the elevator stays rigid even at full extension. With closed-loop control and built-in safety mechanisms, HydroPie consistently delivers accurate lifts under intense match conditions. Every subsystem was stress-tested and optimized to ensure peak reliability and performance on the field.
