The second league meet was an overall success for the team, as they worked to persevere through their matches and overcome obstacles. Although the team suffered minor technical difficulties and limited team members, the mechanical components performed well. The team won four matches and maintained their first place standing by the end of the day. The team continues to create new changes and developments to their robot and hopes to compete at a higher level at league meet three.

After the first league meet, Team 11364 recognized a flaw in their match play. The team’s arm was a weakness, as its position made it easy to break. Once the members realized this, they began working to fix the issue. This was accomplished by increasing the size of the arm’s base so that it will be more stable. Minor adjustments like this one have allowed the team’s robot to continue improving, and the team is excited to compete with it at the next meet.

Team 7373 has radically redesigned the robot since meet two in preparation for the upcoming meet on December 5th. Changes include an improved intake, a new shooter, and several programming developments for a better autonomous. The new shooter features a high rpm motor that can reach 6,000 revolutions per minute, while the new shooter system allows the robot to precisely launch the rings into the upper goal from the opposite side of the field.

Team 11364’s robot has several functions. It consists of a base, an arm, and a grabbing device. At meets, it competes by using an autonomous program to score points, followed by a tele-op program, in which the drivers move wobble goals across the field, place rings into the lower goal, and balance rings on the surface of select wobble goals.
