On Saturday, our team outreached at the FLL state championship. We showed last year’s robot and talked about FRC. During judges’ deliberations, we gave a presentation with 525 Swartdogs. This opportunity let us outreach to hundreds of kids interested in science and technology.
This year’s game is called Recycle Rush. Recycle Rush is a recycling-themed game played by two Alliances of three robots each. Robots score points by stacking totes on scoring platforms, capping those stacks with recycling containers, and properly disposing of pool noodles, representing litter.
This is the game video introducing this year’s game.
We made good use of kickoff day. After watching the kickoff broadcast, we read through the rules and strategized.
Team Neutrino is excited for the 2015 season kickoff. At 9:30 on January 3rd, FIRST will release the new game we will have to build a robot to play. After learning the game, we will have six weeks to build it before it is sealed in a bag for competition.
