Season Challenges:

  • In the autonomous period, there was a vision target for teams to use in order to guide their team towards the scoring area. We attempted to code for this, which ate up a significant portion of the season.
  • As rookies, finding a space to work proved to be difficult. The team found shelter from the desolate plains in a local barn. Unheated and shared with horses, the team worked with hand tools to complete their first robot. focusing on simplicity, the team had only one mechanism on their bot: a ramp.
