MARVIN XV is designed to complete a set of tasks in the 2022 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) game, Rapid React. XV was a hugely successful machine for 2614, earning one event win and three event finalists in official play. I acted as a lead design mentor.
MARVIN XV is one of the most successful MARS machines ever built, earning an event win, three event finalists, the Autonomous Award, and it became the second MARS machine to win the Excellence in Engineering Award (the first being MARVIN XIII.) At Championships, MARVIN XV became MARS's fourth subdivision finalist after ranking 12th out of 75. MARVIN XV is also the third MARS robot to rank 1st at any event in the season. Final season record was 54-14-0.
