What inspired you to make this project?
After years of using our competition robots for community demonstrations, we grew tired of patching up old and busted robots that had seen some serious game play during the regular season. We wanted to use our learnings from these community interactions and build something bigger, better, and more sustainable for larger events. The idea to make our own game, our own identical robots, and our own control systems has been years in the making.
