Every shot, measured.

Hive Shot Lab

Film your FTC BIOBUZZ shooter in slow motion. Hive Shot Lab tracks every pollen ball and tells you its launch speed, angle, and whether it’s IN, for one shot or a whole batch of videos.

How we build

Three disciplines. One robot.

01

Mechanical

goBILDA chassis, CAD, build guides and subsystem breakdowns — how the robot goes together.

Explore 02

Electrical

Control Hub wiring, device configuration, sensors and ESD protection — how the robot comes alive.

Explore 03

Programming

Java OpModes, Pedro Pathing autonomous and the lesson track behind our simulator — how the robot thinks.
