Following a strong showing during the individual competition, the robot did not need many additional refinements before the final competition. The team added black paper and the team logo to the chassis so the robot’s physical appearance was enhanced for the competition, as shown below.
On competition day, the team tested the lighting at the Recreational and Physical Activity Center and made adjustments to read the red and blue buttons. During a final practice run, the team noticed that the left motor still hindered the robot from making it up the ramp. Team members again increased the power of the left motor in an attempt to correct the issue. The team also added paper to the sides of the wheels to eliminate friction between the wheels and the wall. This is shown below.
