In this competition, we have further upgraded and improved the robot designed in the previous official competition, and referred to the machine design of the global champion team 1690 in some positions. We had four wins and two losses in the qualifying rounds and one win in the knockout rounds. During the competition, all the players did their duty, completed their respective division of labor, and showed great efforts and teamwork spirit.
Our machines showed themselves to be lighter and more agile in the race, able to suck up the note more quickly and complete the speaker and amp tasks. We also installed five cameras on the body of the car, combined with program optimization, so that our machine can recognize AprilTag on the field more quickly. In the second qualifying race, our speaker achieved a 100% success rate. However, in the third qualifying match, our note got stuck in the intake, and despite the failure of trying to spit it out, we chose to stop the opponent’s attack, and finally lost. In the next three matches, the team played normally, eventually finishing 17th in the qualifying round and being selected by the Third League to advance to the knockout round.
Although our machine is light and flexible, it has also exposed some problems. For example, in the confrontation with Team 6706, we were easily pushed away; A similar situation occurred in the first game of the elimination round, causing our intake steel shaft and the upper beam to be knocked out of shape. Although the second elimination game was played after maintenance, it still lost, and the machine was heavily damaged again, and the battery compartment and beam were seriously deformed, and thus entered the loser group. In the last game, the machine went down due to a switch hit, resulting in a 2-3 disadvantage situation. Now that the season is over, we will focus on improving the team structure and focus on how to improve the strength of the machine. I believe our team’s machine will only get better and better, and our goal next year is the Houston Finals!
