As the new game begins so does a new team. This season there has been an exponential increase in membership for all grades across the board. On January 5th, we joined other Central Minnesota teams at Becker High School for the Destination: Deep Space Reveal.
Our objectives this season are to build a robot to do one or all of the following to score points:
-Get cargo (Rubber balls scatter through the field) into their pods
-Attach plates delivered to the robot via. loading docks members load
-Hoist it's self up on increasingly high platforms
There will also be some special rules for what we can do. This year for the first 15 seconds there will be a black out, stopping our drivers from seeing the robot directly. We are excited to use new technology, like vision tracking software this season.
As you can imaging there is a lot to manage in order to get this done, but never the less, our Build Team has been very diligent on designing the blueprints for the robot, and have started to layout a skeleton for our future bot.
