Playing Field

Rules

There are four robots on the field: two on the red team and two on the blue team. The game is separated into a 30 second autonomous period and a two minute person operated period. In the autonomous period, robots can gain points by parking in an area marked by a cone sleeve. Robots mainly gain points in the driver operated period for placing cones on the different sized junctions set up around the field.

Strategy

Our strategy is to create an accurate, fast, and small robot. With this body style, we will be in a good position for putting cones on the ground junctions. Predictably, we will also get 10 penalty points when our opposing robots knock over our cones in the ground junctions because the cones are in their way. But the biggest advantage our robot has over other robots that is little and accurate and can evade the cones.
