Just to clarify, the air compressor was just used for visual effects and is no way part of the robot.
We are really looking forward to competing this year. The rebuild since nationals has been challenging, since we hadn’t built a flywheel before then! Hopefully we wont disappoint.
We managed to come away with the Robot Skills World Champion and Excellence Award World Champion titles
We would also like to give a big congratulations to 8691E 1104M and 400S for taking out the Tournament Champion awards, you guys played so well - the finals in the arena were amazing to watch!
We allianced with 1104X and 46A, and were unfortunately eliminated in quarter finals. A big thank you to our alliance partners. Even though things didn’t quite go to plan, you were were amazing to work with.
We have a couple of videos we would like to share -
We would also like to thank the support team that came with us, our teachers, parents and mentors who have given up their time and money to travel with us on this trip. And most importantly the volunteers and staff that made the event possible, thank you so much.
The Lynfield team flies out on Monday, we have had a great time in Kentucky and hope to see y’all again soon.
I just noticed that you looked so sad sitting behind Karthik! I kept saying, “Poor Steve, he looks so sad. He doesn’t know what to do when he’s not in the Finals.” Then you got Excellence and still looked very sad.
But I’m sure you guys deserved the Excellence award. You had a great bot and a great team.
Haha, I was actually just very tired from a long, stressful trip xD. I was extremely happy to have received World Robot Skills Champion after 3 years of trying to get that one award . And to get World Excellence Award on top of that made us so grateful. It was awesome to see so many of my friends with such an amazingly high standard in the round robin with a double high elevation (or attempted high elevation) in every game .
