Seeding

Early matches consist of seeding, where teams run individually. Their scores determine which brackets they'll compete in, and who they'll compete against.

Judges talk through the points scored, and teams may compare their own scores against the judges to make sure everything matches and nothing is missed. Our teams received recognition for our diligence in checking and confirming our scores.

Presentations

In addition to competing on the board, teams must also present information about their team and their strategy, followed by questions from a judge.

One of our teams scored a perfect 100%, and the other a 98%.

Help Desk & Support

Anything worth doing will come with challenges. It's to be expected that a robotics tournament and conference will have a few technical difficulties here and there. KIPR Botball staff helps provide support in these situations.
