The Challenge:
The objective of the challenge is to score more points than the opposing team or alliance. There are amultitude of ways you can score points, however the most common way is by moving and pacing pixels on the backbord. When placing pixels you can form mosaics, which is either three pixels of one color or three pixels that are diffent colors. You can also earn extra points by lauching an drone or paper airplane a certain distance and having your robot hang on the trough (bars in the middle) at the end of the match.
Our Robot:
Our robot named "gnocchi" tackled all aspects of the competition and was designed entirely using Soldiworks. It was able to move around freely using mechanum drive along with being able to place pixels on the backboard, shoot a drone, and hang at the end of the match. Our robot was built using all either custom metal CNC parts or custom 3-D printed parts.
