Overview
One of our proudest achievements, Gryphon is the World Champion rover from URC 2017. The Mantis Platform, a mechanical response to the new electrical and tele-communications systems of the previous year, was a complete redesign from the Phoenix platform of years past. This innovative suspension and robust autonomous function as well as other improvements meant that Gryphon was able to dominate URC with a commanding first place of a nearly 70 point separation from the second place finishers.
