Dark Matter - 2017

Dark Matter was built in 2017 and featured our black-out color scheme. It was with Dark Matter that the team won the Entrepreneurship Award at the Midwest Regional. It was with Dark Matter that the team debuted Swerve Drive with our in-house designed 1.0 revision. This new technology for us came with a few drawbacks including a bottoming-out issue that could rip the driving motors our of the unit.
