A Great Season!

As the Rover Ruckus season has come to a close for Kardia Robotics we wanted to reflect on all of our accomplishments.  In competition our robot preformed elegantly, through both autonomous and driver control.  Qualifying for STATES at our first regional competition our season got off with a bang.  Our other qualifying events were filled with learning, fun, and awards.  STATES as always was a great experience, allowing us to play with the best of the best from Pennsylvania. 

Additionally our design team was introduced to the linear slide mechanism, lead screw lift system, cable chain wire protection, as well as omni-all-directional wheels.  The programming team had the opportunity to create a Blocks programming manual to aid our incoming team members in their discovery of blocks-based coding. The marketing team gained valuable skills in delivering countless presentations, coordinating outreach events, and expanding our budget management system.  Throughout the season we collectively honed our leadership, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creative innovative skills.   

Overall the Rover Ruckus 2018-2019 season was an amazing opportunity for our team to grow, learn, and become even more involved with FIRST. We look forward to next season and all of the challenges that await us.
