This season we have had the challenge of building a robot and planning missions without a Field Table and a physical robot for a large portion of our season do to the Covid mandates and closure of Swerve Robotics where we meet. Our opportunity in this challenge was to learn how to work together online and discover new on-line tools such as Lego Studio and Google Jam board which allows us all to work on one idea at the same time.
To the Left, is our team working together on planning our Mission strategy together.
We started by studying the table and we identified two main regions that we felt we could be accomplished with the time and resource constrictions we have. One north, one south. Both with a single attachment. The overall general shapes of the paths are isometrically. As the season progressed and we faced challenges we had to split these two main routes into smaller pieces which primary effected route 2, the top route.

We all learned to code
We all learned to code classroom style early on in the season before our building was shut down. Here, Sanika and Dale test out their new Gyro code in a race (left).
