Re: Kickoff Procedure?

This is the Robo-Lion's (team 2199) second year competing.

Last year (rack and roll) a select bunch went to the kick off. After the kick off everyone met over at someones house and we started discussing the rules and procedures of the game. We ran through a complete game (and used paper plates as robots, and pretzles as tubes) to make sure everyone understood the basic idea of the game. Afterwards we started discussing the nessisary functions the robot needs to perform. We then came up with different classes of robots. We came up with four: the defensive bot (a pushing bot), pure manipulator bot (just an arm to move the tubes), a ramp bot (can lift two robots ) ,and a hybrid (the rampbot with a manipulator). We then started breaking up into little groups as to what class we as a team want to build and ideas of how we can build it. After much debating we looked at our limitations as a first year team and said we would build a pure manipulator bot because we wanted to have fun and actually play the game.

This year we will basically do the same thing only we will have the rest of the team watching the web cast at someones house while the select few (which I will now be part of because I am a co-captain this year) is at the kick off. Obviously we will decide again what the classes of robots are and decide what class of bot we want to do. Also different this year, We will be getting two KoP so we have more parts this year.

See you all this year,
Aarnat
