VRC Team #99707K: The Robo Chickens

2020-2021:
VRC Change Up

Game Description:

In VRC Change Up, points are scored by putting balls in goals. Balls are worth 1 point by themselves. However, when looking at the field from the top, horizantal/vertical/diagonal 3-in-a-rows are an additional 6 points each for that color. A match starts with a 15 second autonomous period, where robots run pre-coded programs, without drivers. This is followed by a 1:45 driver control period.

Our 2020-2022 robot, LOL66 5.0, could score and descore balls in all goals. Balls were sucked in and/or descored through the bottom and shot into the goal from the top. By spinning the top roller down, the reobot could also eject balls out the back.
