Competition Performance

Greater Pittsburgh Regional

Strategy

• If teammates are capable of auto, start in auto zone and pick up and pull bin or yellow tote

• If not, start in landfill and pull out two totes to break it up

• If going for coopertition, start preparing yellow tote to build middle tower

• If not, break up landfill further or begin building towers in far scoring platform

• Most consistent setup: two 2-high towers with bins

• Bin Strategy: Pick up, drive to human zone and have human drop litter over the wall, then cap tower with filled bin

Strengths

• Versatile, able to fill pretty much any role

• Robust, anti-tip code makes it difficult to topple over

• Most teams seem to prefer human-player loading so our ability to perform landfill duty is a useful niche

• Consistent coopertition points

• Can pull multiple totes at once from landfill

Working On

• Mechanism to grab middle bins from landfill
• Pincer contraption for easier tote grabbing, along with ability to pick up toppled bins
