This robot helped us become 1st in Western Australia, in the 2017 FRC Robotics Competition! Along with the rest of the team 6509 of 2017, we also got 5th out of the south pacific regional.
Last year the game was challenging for the new members of our group. Picking up the gears and taking them to a ship. This ship was a landing bay for the gears that the robot delivered.
