2012-2013: Ultimate Ascent
In 2013, we competed in Ultimate Ascent, a game in which teams tried to shoot frisbees into goals placed on the other side of the field. Bonus points were given to teams that could climb up metal pyramids placed in the center of the field. We created a robot with a unique design that really set us apart from the crowd. Our trapezoidal robot was designed to efficiently climb the pyramid and our dynamic shooter could accurately launch frisbees into the highest-scoring goals. We attended the Baltimore and New York City regional competitions and made it into the quarter final rounds both times. Unfortunately, we did not advance, but that defeat has fueled our drive for years to come.
