This project will give my students a hands-on environment to start testing and redesigning their first robot. The team is hard at work and almost have their first tech challenge robot done to compete in Rover Ruckus. They will be excited to actually be able to test out the robots on a competition field that they will be able to use every year. The FTC Field Perimeter and Rover Ruckus Full Game competition field set will be extremely useful in visualizing and refining our robot to work in the confines of the competition. It will also be useful each year in helping our team host scrimmage events and off season competitions locally. We will be excited to be able to invite teams from across the state to our schools to compete locally. This will help build an excitement for STEM education in our kids and community.
