`Snow Problem is pleased to announce that we will be participating in Robot in 1 Weekend (Ri1W) for the 2017-2018 FTC season! While we have been involved with Robot in 3 Days, we are excited to participate in Ri1W and challenge ourselves with this year’s game.
Robot in 1 Weekend
If you’re unfamiliar, Robot in 1 Weekend is an event where teams of people who are too old to participate in FTC build robots for the FTC game. Starting from kickoff (Sept 9th), we have 36 hours to design, build and program a competitive robot. From there we have a socially acceptable week or so to release a shiny robot reveal video and additional documentation.
Snow Problem Originally our Robot in 3 Days team,Snow Problem is a project team of the student group GOFIRST, a robotics group at the University of Minnesota. Members specifically involved with the Robot in 1 Weekend project primarily have some involvement in FTC but we come from a variety of backgrounds.
Yes and?
If you’re involved with an FTC team, love robots and/or just want to watch us do our thing, follow along on your choice of social network. If you can’t watch live, we will also be posting documentation to our site after the build.
We will be streaming live on our Twitch over the whole weekend starting around 1PM CST. Our robot reveal and other videos will be on our https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=(z.umn.edu/oneweekinvitational) at the EMCC to challenge FTC teams in creating a robot in a week. If you’re interested in helping we are looking for volunteers to help run this event!
We really enjoy participating in Robot in 3 Days and are super excited to venture into this territory. Best of luck to everyone in FTC season!
