In this game the objective is to have robots attempt to launch balls into a center goal for 3
points. Robots or human players may score a single point by throwing or pushing balls into the corner goals. Balls must stay in the goal and exit through
the exit chute to count for a score. Human players may retrieve balls from the corner goals and/or center goal storage container. Human players can replenish
any alliance robot and can share balls to maximize their scoring opportunities. Each 2 minute, 10 second match, will feature two three-team alliances
playing from opposite ends of the Field. The robots start from mid-field positions. Each match will consist of four quarters:
1) Period one Autonomous mode (10 seconds)
2) A second (40-second) period
3) A third (40-second) period
4) A final (40 second) period
After the autonomous period in which the robots control themselves, the robots are controlled by their drivers.
This was our rookie season as a robotics competitor, but our team showed our skills by building a robot that not only dominated in scoring points,
but was awarded the Rookie Team of the Year award as well. Our shooting method was accomplished by a ramp and track system that allowed the robot to
drive over the foam balls, after which a conveyer belt would carry them up to the top where they awaited their launching time. There was a light sensor
on the robot that allowed the aimer to locate the target, and make a basket every single time it shot.
