Hi everyone! Kickoff has officially ended, and build season has begun! Kickoff was generously hosted by MSU again this year, and aside from team building exercises at the beginning, we also learned about the new challenge this year, REEFSCAPE! Afterwards, we broke up into design groups to try to figure out what game pieces we should focus on and brainstorm potential robot designs.
Currently, the team is meeting from Monday to Thursday up until 5 pm so we’ll be able to fully finish our robot with time to test it! A design team has been formed of team members across all divisions in order to create a successful bot. As of right now, we are going to be making a robot that can reach over 6 feet high using a 3 staged continuously rigged elevator.
Our first competition is March 8th-9th, at Mount Olive. Our current robot design is very ambitious, but team 555 is confident that it will pay by competition. Make sure to keep checking our website for more updates!
Thank you for supporting us!
