Today two groups were editing their robot. One team realized that two of their axles were not well placed in the motor, thus making the robot not be able to move as quickly. They also put collars on their axles for wheels and the scissor lift. The other group was working on driving and their techniques for scoring points. Today was a work day for SeaPerch and some VEX groups. VEX was working on minor issues, using more effective screws and putting on collars. SeaPerch was working on the their strategies for their own objectives. Other people that were in neither of the organizations doing stop-motion animations or doing Hour of Code on www.code.org!
Team 7843C competed in the VEX Loudoun Regional Skyrise Competition with their linear lift robot and were thrilled to be Tournament Champions! They also were awarded the Design Award by the judges, which they earned by keeping an excellent account of the design and build of their robot. It was a fast paced day where the team worked well together to achieve high scores in their matches, overcome challenges with the programming and performance of their robot. They were very proud and excited to have won a spot to compete at the VEX Robotics Virginia State Championship.
