Strategy

We strategically evaluated the missions to see which ones were most point efficient but didn’t require extensive amounts of time to work on. The criteria we used to evaluate the missions were the distance from base and the kinds of motions that the robot had to go through in order to successfully complete the mission.

This year, our goal is to complete as many missions as possible while getting the highest point-to-effort ratio. In the end, our goal was to beat our score from last year and (more importantly) have fun!

For example, we found M14 - Meteorite Deflection to be the easiest to do, so we created a combination mission by putting it together with the Observatory mission to save time, and clear the meteorite from the way of other missions that we felt that we could complete with ease.
