GAME ANNOUNCEMENT: CRESCENDO

This year’s game is musically inspired. Robots must score notes (orange rings) in the amp and speaker. One challenge of this game is the difference in angle that the notes have to be scored in order to receive points for shooting the game pieces into each of these locations. During the endgame, robots must hoist themselves onto a chain and, for extra points, score a note into the trap.

OUR GOALS

This season we set five team goals that we will continuously work towards: - Top Five for Robot Performance - Mechanically assembled robot by the end of Week 6 - Don’t lose sight of community outreach during build season - Develop a dependable match strategy - Develop weekly agendas to promote efficiency
