We competed in the 3/22 QCC Scrimmage in Worcester. We ranked 1st out of 47 teams, and even scored our season record of 95 points in one match, with help from our allies Light Speed Robotics.
This tournament was only practice rounds, 8 of them. We came to the tournament with a new feature that allowed the robot to pull itself up 12 inches to hang from a 40" bar. It worked in 6 out of 8 matches, the two failures being from bad rubber bands (Uhg! we will use surgical tubing next time), and someone parking their robot under the hanging bar.
Fixes required:
-Using something more reliable than rubber bands for the rope retention system
-Programming! We need a goal scoring middle zone autonomous program.
-More programming! We need a good hanging zone autonomous program too.
The robot is on it's way to being ready for Worlds!
Great job team! Love the updates.
