The first two weeks of build season have been extremely productive for the Scalawags. We have been hard at work five days a week in the shop, prototyping, building and testing components for our robot for the 2025 game, Reefscape.
The first two days were all hands on deck for brainstorming, deciding how we want to play this game and getting broad ideas for how exactly we would score points. The team split into sub groups for designing game piece handling and climbing, two major components of the game.
We had two great ideas for game piece management. Two subgroups were formed to further prototype and research those ideas, while a third team set to work on the climbing mechanism and a fourth group got to work on designing our logo for the year and other imagery things.
The team came together and voted as a group on which game piece handling mechanism we wanted. Then we dove into production and manufacturing, with our art team and programmers hard at work to make sure that everything comes together for a functioning robot and an incredible pit for competition.
