• 1/2 ✓ The ROBOT must include all of the basic systems required to be an active participant in the game – power, communications, control, BUMPERS, and movement. (Slap some bumpers and a control system on there and you're ready to go!)
• ✓ The ROBOT implementation must obviously follow a design approach intended to play FIRST STEAMWORKS (See photo)

You have to keep in mind that the doggo (or pupper) must stay within their volume for the entire match, and that the volume includes bumpers.

So what should we expect from an inspector at our competition?

Hi Samueldobens,

It's nice to hear you're making such great progress, I'm always surprised with how fast teams of students and mentors turn out their robots! I think you accidentally uploaded the wrong photo though because it's showing a picture of a dog (I'm more of a cat person myself) and not your robot! I've done the same thing myself though, not too great with computers over here.

30 miles per hour on a robot for these games is very fast! I'm worried that it might be a bit difficult to drive, like trying to take a Monte Carlo through a parking lot at full speeds! Either way look forward to seeing the robot photo when you fix up the image.

Best Regards,
RM
