Last Saturday, the Crusaderbots competed at Catlin Gable’s annual BunnyBot competition. This year’s game challenged teams to move bunnies scattered throughout the field to their alliance’s side of the field. Each team could also have a Nerf Gun to shoot opponents. Alliances got 3 points for each bunny on their side and lost a point for each time they were tagged by a Nerf dart.
Q, the Crusaderbots’s entry for the competition, featured a rotating beater bar on the front of the robot that could be used to capture bunnies quickly and move them. Featuring a six-wheel drive, Q could move speed across the field to get bunnies and bring them back.
Q, our BunnyBot
Like previous BunnyBots, Q was the culmination of rookie training. Rookie members of the teams designed the robot and did a lot of the manufacturing. At the competition, rookies took turns driving their robot under the guidance of their driving coach, Kyle Kern.
Big thanks to everyone who came and supported us and all the other teams at the BunnyBot!
