That's amazing. No defense at all, just banging them out!
Nice!

What are the requirements for winning? Also, I hadn't realized that this was Dean Kamen's brainchild -- another Elon Musk but much more reclusive and probably more creative. I counted 14 baskets, amazing consistency and accuracy, not to mention hustle. Wow!

Defeat defenses, throw bolders to weaken the tower, then capture the tower. Somewhere on this thread is a preview animation of the game.
And yes, this is a Dean Kamen thing. He came to one of our district events and it was a mad house trying to get his autograph. Kids thought it was cool.

I'm getting a blank page when I open that link. Plan B?

Going to that link, I could get in

We're at the shop programming additional autonomous modes.

Never a dull moment in FIRST Robotics.

I see that we're not in the same division. Bummer. Would have been fun to team with / play against you.
