We completed two events with a modified KitBot, having given it an autonomous routine and climbing ability. Lots of pit time was spent repairing and modifying “Mr. Bot” between matches. You could say that we learned all the ways to break a robot!!Building off our first season experience, we are engaged in fundraising, recruitment, and skill-building during our off-season. Our goal is to compete with a robust, custom-designed robot next season.
