For Ultimate Ascent we decided to go with a primarily defensive strategy. Utilizing both a strong 6 motor, 8 wheel drive train as well as a dynamic wind current shot deflection system. (Fan) We also have a 10 point Hang as well as the ability to score in the low goal in autonomous.

So far we have captained the 8th alliance at TCNJ and were picked up as part of the 4th alliance at the Bridgewater District Event. We will be competing next at MAR Champs.

Let us know what you guys think!

Can you guys describe how you arrived at your final fan and what you are powering it with? Was it just a last minute "Uh... that fan on that desk over there looks pretty good!" or did you try a bunch of different potential paths?
