In the first meet of the 24-25 season, we won 2 out of 5 matches! During the meet, the robot experienced a malfunction when its claw detached, which was a serious threat to our meet performance. Thankfully, we were able troubleshoot the mechanism and persist. At meets, every member of the team does their part. For example, throughout the meet it was the job of our outreach department to speak to our alliance partners, in order to both strategize and foster connections between teams!

In our second meet we won  2 out of 5 matches. We were proud of our considerable improvement in mechanical and tele-operational consistency, but recognized  room for improvement in all departments. 

Our bot’s abilities remained the same,  being able to hook specimens on the low and high chambers and score in the low basket. Unfortunately, like our first meet, the claw detached off again, but we were able to fix it and get back into action!

In our third meet, we won three out of five games. Overall, we felt satisfied with this outcome. We thought we collaborated with teams exceptionally well. Our robot was able to get into both the high and low baskets, putting specimens on both chambers, and is able to hang! However, like other meets, we learned the claw is delicate, as it broke again during this meet. With a lot of perseverance, we fixed it and got back to the matches!
