The rules, for the newbies.

Since I was super late on this (and I’m going to be away from my laptop until Monday late anyway), let’s make the deadline Monday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

Week 6: Alright, now that we’ve got the fuel shooter done, time to squeeze in the gear manipulator.

That’s the boiler that provides heat and electricity for their entire town.

Regional-winning strategy: One fuel at a time.

Regional-losing strategy: Bring that winning strategy to any event 118 is at.

Ow! My tooth!

[npoe]

Risking the wrath of negative infinity … but this differs from other weeks how?

[/npoe]

Now, let’s see if you can put some fuel right here, hotshot!

(Two Weeks Later) Ok, we have 5 hours to get inspected for matches tomorrow. That’s the good news. The bad news - fuel doesn’t matter, we have no climber, and whoever said “gears - that’s for the other guy,” we need to talk.

Programmer: “After five weeks I finally got the robot to shoot one ball in Auto. How many do we need to shoot?”
Student: “About 45 more.”
Programmer faints

This year they set out to win the “Innovation in Control Award” with their state of the art “Tooth Joystick”. Design so the team can stay on point during those nail-biter matches!

Ya know, this game would be a LOT easier if we could shoot FROM the robot INTO the recycling can…

Now if you reshape that piece of metal, move that motor, and change this design around a little, you’ll have an actual points-scoring mechanism - a gear pickup.

Getting 40kpa like we’re getting prom dates. Anyone found a prom date yet?

The difference is that I can’t judge a contest with a Monday night deadline on Monday. As bad as I missed the judging last week’s, it didn’t feel right to cut things that short. :slight_smile:

First place goes to:

Second place goes to:

And the burn award goes to:
