Rookie All-Star, Rookie Inspiration, State Bid
This project has helped us build our skills and challenged us in new ways. Creating a robot of this caliber has given us the knowledge to get a leg-up over our competition for our upcoming robotics seasons. Furthermore, this project serves as a reminder of what we, as students, are capable of when we collaborate, design, build, and dream.
At our first district event, we had no clue what to expect. The atmosphere was crazy and we were just trying to wrap our heads around it. They say FRC is the hardest fun you will ever have, and they were definitely right. At this competition, we brought home the Rookie All-Star award, the most prestigious award a rookie can receive. Winning this award meant we could not receive it at our next district event and we had a guaranteed bid to the Indiana State Championship.
At our second district event, the true colors of our team shined like never before. We were excited to compete and show off all the improvements we had made since our last competition. But by the end of the day, our robot had broken completely in half 3 times, went to the weld shop 6 times, had to be fixed in the 10-minute break between every match and underwent 2 redesigns throughout the competition. Throughout all of this, we never missed a match and put a moving robot on the field every time. Our true colors really shined and we worked together as a team like never before. We came together to push towards a common goal and it was really great to see what our team could accomplish when we all worked together as one! The judges saw our resilience and passion and were so impressed we received the rookie inspiration award and a competition volunteer mentioned that there should be a “refuse to quit” award named after us.
The FIRST Robotics Challenge, or FRC, is the top level of robotics in the program, with students competing to build, design, program, and operate a robot in a six-week time limit, while also obtaining sponsors and participating in Outreach. The games not only challenge the students' abilities to operate the robot, but challenge them to plan out a strategy and execute it throughout the game, as competitors are much more involved in scoring points than in other FIRST challenges.
