Sleepy-eyed Crusaderbots gathered with over thirty other FIRST Robotics Teams at Evergreen High School for the annual FIRST Robotics Competition Kickoff. Appearances by Stephen Colbert, will.i.am, Muhtar Kent, and Dean Kamen built up to the revealing of this year’s game, Rebound Rumble.
Like previous years, the game is played on a 27 by 54 foot field. Teams have to score on the array of hoops located at each end of the field. To get across the field, teams have to either cross the 4 inch tall steel barrier or drive over the balanced bridges located across the barrier. Teams receive extra points if they end the game balanced on one of the bridges, either by themselves, with a teammate, or even a competitor.
Stay tuned to the Build Blogs as the Crusaderbots continue through the Build Season!
