Ebirah - Horror of the Doorknobs
Ebirah was our 2025 entry for REEFSCAPE. Its main focus was an elevator built from the Thriftybot Elevator Kit, which was heavily modified to meet our needs. Over the season, we cycled through three different intake designs, with the final version pictured at the bottom.
Ebirah ran on a modified West Coast frame powered by Kraken Motors generously donated by a team member's family. It featured three cameras and was our first to be retrofitted with SWERVE after the season. The robot also included a plethora of 3D-printed parts, and its 3D-printed battery case turned a lot of heads in Knoxville.
Ebirah competed at the Arkansas Regional and debuted a completely new intake at the Smoky Mountain Regional outside Knoxville, Tennessee. Later, it showcased the new Thrifty SWERVE drivetrain at the 2025 Ozark Mountain Brawl.
