This is the club’s second time to Victoria after its trip in 2020 when they placed third overall, earned the Best Rookie title and punched their ticket to the top level of competition in Houston, Texas, before it was cancelled due to the pandemic.
Each robot will compete to be the most effective and fastest to complete the tasks assigned to them, which in the club’s first year includes picking up balls to put into slots and then having the bot lift and hang itself. Each year’s competition has a different set of tasks. The robots are all controlled remotely and are also programmed by the students as well.
