Final Day of Worlds

Today is our last day in St. Louis! Alliance selections will be at 8 AM. The team is making some final adjustments on Goldie to ensure her readiness for competition if we are chosen for an alliance. The top 8 teams will choose their alliance members out of the 68 teams in Daly. We are seeded 41 out of the 68. Wish us luck in our final day of Worlds. None of us want this journey to end. Check the blog and social media to find out if Goldie's time at Worlds continues.

Day 3 of Worlds!

Today, although we are just a few hours in, has been an exciting and eventful day! We have won our first two matches of the day. In the first match we defeated the blue alliance by a score of 401-174. The second was a nail-biter; we won 345-335. Also, Goldie has continued to successfully climb the rope and deliver gears to the airship efficiently! There have been issues with autonomous mode today, but Logan has been working out the kinks and perfecting Goldie's auton mode by testing on the practice field. We continue to learn from our mistakes and better Goldie and ourselves as a team. Thank you for your continued support. Without your support we wouldn't be having so many successes at the championship.

End of Day 2 of Competition

As the second day of competition comes to a close, Golden Bots finish 1-3 losing all but our first match. However, we are currently in the top 10 of teams who have scored the most points. Goldie has successfully been climbing the rope the entire day in every match, which is something we were not able to achieve in Chicago. Logan has been working on testing and programming the robot with the drivers to ensure that in autonomous mode Goldie will be able to deliver a gear on the left and right sides of the airship, which previously has only been able to be done on the middle of the airship. Today has been a day full of trial and error, but lots of progress has been made. The qualification matches continue tomorrow, with the first one at 8:16 AM.
