First, we worked in groups to review each mission and figure out how it could be activated.  Then we looked at which missions could use common attachments like a vertical forklift, a side moving lever, and an up and down scooping motion.  

After that, we reviewed the competition mat, and started creating our run strategy based on a goal to achieve 300 points by scrimmage and 350 points by regionals.  This season's game has a total possible point total of 550 points.  To be competitive at state, we believe we need to achieve 450 points.

We learned how to use the Spike Prime Gyro sensor to make more precise movements and set YAW.  The Spike prime gyro sensor is embedded into the brain of the robot while our EV3 gyro sensor was an add on sensor.  This is better because our sensor this year won't become unplugged while we are running the robot in competition.

We are basing our robot off the advanced driving base and iterated it to adjust to our attachments.  We use 4 attachments in our 4 runs.   

This is the original concept for our forklift.  The forklift was catching on the frames and joints, so remade the entire forklift track to be smoother (used differnet interconnects that were longer and had fewer transitions)  and move quicker (by adjusting the gear train).

Our team presented our robot presentation at regionals!  We created slides about robot strategy, design, code, and more to share with the judges!  We recently competed at sectionals and showed the judges our new sculpture.
