Kickoff

It’s that time of the year again and FIRST has announced their new challenge. This year, we joined the Duluth East Daredevils at their auditorium to watch the live unveiling of this year’s game. Afterward, our team headed over to the American Legion to go over the new game manual in-depth and began discussing possible robot designs, including potential game strategies. We took this time to plan possible prototypes and figure out how we would tackle certain aspects of this new game. Following discussions, we were able to create a preliminary design of our robot to mockup in a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) program to bring our design to life.
