Robotics Competition Videos


As I've mentioned I volunteered as a mentor for the Melrose High School iRaiders robotics team for the 2010 FIRST Robotics Competition season. The 2010 Boston Regionals were held March 26-27 at Boston University. Below are links to several videos from the competition.

We didn't complete construction of our robot until the last minute, so we didn't have nearly enough time for testing. We had reliability problems in the competition: mainly the chains kept slipping on the drive wheels, making it difficult to maneuver. More testing would have revealed that weakness. Next year we'll try to manage the schedule better.
