Explorer Post 1010 registered team 160 in the 2022
Botball Educational Robotics program.
We formed our team in the fall of 2021 and developed our skills with last year's robots.
The
Game for 2022 was revealed in
December.
We received a generous scholarship from KIPR,
the program's home.
We developed our robots at the Rockville Science Center
storefront at meetings on Wednesday and Monday evenings.
We also had some other meetings on Saturdays.
We used equipment and parts from the previous years.
This reduced the cost to participate significantly.
We received game objects and parts from KIPR in
January.
We designed and ordered a team tshirt.
We added a few new members to the team in the
winter. As we got closer to the April
tournament, we started meeting more. We lost a
member but gained another.
We tried several designs to score maximum
points. Some scoring items were ignored.
We had two robots programmed in Python.
We came in 5th in seeding. We had a bye in double
elimination. We won 4 rounds and finally lost two,
one to Dead Robots Society. We ended up 3rd overall
and got a trophy.
