Every year our team has a different strategy. In past years, like 2013, we climbed to the top of the pyramid and were able to place the colored frisbees in there, which was a substantial challenge we were able to accomplish with unique ideas from my fellow students and I completed by using a rack and pinion system. Then the idea to make the climb autonomous was brought up by a student, so we accomplished it.
This year we wanted to be able to change our robot's dimensions, shift its CG, utilize a fast and strong mechanum drive, and make a competitive tote and RC stacking robot. We believe we've accomplished those student goals with our current robot, and our student designed, and constructed mechanisms. Which we believe is the point of FRC.
