Mission Strategy

This is our last year in FLL, and we wanted to go big! We developed a mission strategy that would help us achieve our goals:

✅ Attempt ALL missions and score at least 500 points

✅ Don't go back: Grouping missions together based on proximity

✅ Build reusable attachments that can complete multiple missions

✅ Make main attachments part of the base robot to minimize changeovers

Several Mission Set Subteams

Independent Prototyping

Innovative Features

3 color sensors - wide line following range + ability to align

Tilting right color sensor - allows the robot to go on treadmill without getting stuck or needing an attachment

Pneumatics Bench -completes 3 missions and gets 110 points in 5 seconds!

Mouthguard - prevents health units from getting stuck under robot while pushing them to the gray area

Two-Phase Lifting - lets the linear gear be short enough to fit underneath the pull up bar, while allowing it to lift the basketball hoop to top height

Chained Missions - to save time and prevent mistakes during our mission runs, we linked all of our missions together, and use a single button to run each mission program

Dance with music - our robot not only dances, but also plays music! This has been our trademark every year and not easy to do with micropython

Code Highlights

Code written in micropython
Git + Github for version control - never lose changes!
Object oriented programming (classes and functions) makes it easy for less experienced programmers to write mission programs
Well documented - comments makes code easy to read and maintain
