Just finished up our practice day at the second robotics tournament. We are down in Lacrosse, one of our favorite places to compete.
The robot is happier, and should do better than last time. It's solid and the programmers have dialed things in better.
My view of things is different this time. I'm volunteering as Field Reset, a job that basically involved collecting up all the game pieces the robots have put here and there - on purpose or by accident - and getting them back in the right spots to start another match.
Here's a few pictures of our day.
This is the field from way up high, before the action starts.
Here's ground level. The game pieces are those big green bouncy balls and those hard PVC pipe sections.
Sometimes the robots have issues. The stray parts found on the field are put in this box.
And here's the team set up for a practice match.
How will we do tomorrow when the real matches begin?
