Our first meet was somewhat a success because we were able to win a few matches. We beat our former captain which is also our mentor team (Lewisville High School). A difficulty during this event was that we had yet to finalize a design to be able to launch the artifacts so we were a push bot and focused on defense. Though we learned we could score by putting artifacts on the scoring board. As we continue on with this robotic challenge, we are decided on to improve our robot with various things like adding wheels to the ramp, finishing the design, finishing the coding, and adding an autonomous.
Our second meet was also a still a push bot. However, we were able to create an autonomous to move the robot. We still had to focus on defense and be a push bot. We had finalized a design for a launcher for the robot, but it turned out to not work and we did not have enough time to rework it and make a functioning launcher.
For the third meet, we were graciously gifted a starter kit for this event by LHS (). This allowed us to do more during this competition, however we still struggled with the controls and being able to launch artifacts properly. We did not have an intake, but we had an autonomous to move forward still. We learned how the launcher works and came up with ideas to try and improve it.
