“NOT ENOUGH TORQUE.”
– 569A
Our Team
We are Team 569A! Excited for the new season Change Up, we are determined to build a fully functioning robot that will win awards and tournaments as we compete throughout the year. In our team, we are all very connected and are overjoyed to build new friendships with the new team members this year. We are all involved in many aspects of our robot. Our team has set many goals for this year, and we plan to push ourselves to achieve the very best.
Building
Our building team works diligently to assure that there are no mishaps or issues with the design. Our builders have collaborated to find the perfect mixture of speed, stability, and strength. Our design will help us to go great distances during this competition season.
Programming
Our team prides itself on autonomous and coding. We have excelled in the coding area many times from last year, competing with some of the best teams from around the world. We have spent all year refining our autonomous routines and enhancing the way we use our encoders.
Previous Years
Our team did fantastic in the Vex Robotics Competition challenges, Turning Point and Tower Takeover. 569A went to states, and worlds. We were in the Technology division for Worlds in Turning Point and we won 1 award.
Our Robot
Our robot’s name is Escargot. Our robot has an x-drive and flywheel.
Videos
Our team member Nicholas has created many great YouTube videos about Vex programing in Vex code pro v5. This is a link to the YouTube channel.
