Saturday 11/23/19 - SOAR League Meet #1 at Fremont Middle School

SOAR FTC League Meet #1 Reflection:
We created an interview sheet for Autonomous to see which teams had an autonomous and how they functioned. Connie, Tristan and Liam conducted the interviews.
From scouting, we found that 12 of the SOAR teams had only 12 teams had basic working autonomous programs. No teams had Tensor Flow functioning to recognize the Skystone.
About 2 teams were able to stack blocks. Most teams pushed blocks into the building zone and a few teams had ways of projecting the blocks up onto the foundation.

Team observations - There was a robot with 3d-printed walls and a couple other robots with an x-rail similar to ours. The Roseburg teams Aries and Taurus both had arms that lifted, one with worm gear like the linear actuator kit that we used last year and the other with a rack and pinion system. 

Our robot - The first issue was at robot inspection because we had some rough edges on the 3D printed items, and then one of our phones was not updated to the current app. In competition, our straffing was still not functioning and we had multiple issues with the arm that still were not fixed. We were able to grab one block during the 5 rounds. We mostly pushed blocks to try to score, and at one point the robot got stuck on top of the platform. We knew we were not as prepared as we should have been and are committed to creating and sticking to a timeline to be ready for Meet #2 and #3.
