After
our 2 events we have qualified for the District Championships at Lehigh
University
|
In our second competition of the season,
at Upper Darby last weekend, the team again had great success. We finished
the qualifications matches ranked 10th and were selected by the
3rd alliance to compete in the playoffs. We advanced past
the quarter finals, into the semi finals and just missed making it to
the finals by 5 points.
Below are some pictures from the event.

The
robot must stack totes on scoring platforms and cap them off with recycle
containers. Our robot is on the move carrying a stack of 2 totes
(worth 2 points each) ready to drop them on the white scoring platform.
We
are building a stack of 4 yellow totes. The yellow totes earn a special
co-op bonus. This stack is worth 40 points.
Our
robot is capping a stack of 4 totes with a recycle container. The
higher the stack of totes the more the container is worth. This stack,
with the container, is now worth 24 points.
