Great Time at the Lancaster Scrimmage

Just a few days ago our team competed in the Lancaster scrimmage.  We had a great time and showcased our brand new robot for the Skystone season. Our innovative intake system worked without any issues and completed all tasks with accuracy and efficiency. Although our autonomous program did not function properly, our TeleOp program worked smoothly, a feat difficult to master at such an early time in the year. The entire day, our team was undefeated, winning most of our matches by only a small margin.  This gave our team confidence in our robot design and allowed us to understand the way our robot operates. In addition to this, we developed a new scoring and scouting system that we will use and improve upon in the future.Our team also participated in an unofficial judges’ presentation, where we received some very helpful feedback on both our engineering notebook and our speech-making skills. We are grateful for the chance to learn how to better improve our team presentation before our first qualifier.
Our team advanced to the finals and won first over-all. It was a wonderful experience, but mostly we are grateful for the chance to operate our robot for the first time and figure out ways in which we can improve, both structurally and according to our programs.  We enjoyed seeing other team’s designs and strategies and look forward to future competitions.
