2019 Game Animation
GAME SUMMARY:
What makes the 2019 game special?
Successful robots will handle TWO game elements - Hatch Panels and Cargo.
A hatch panel seals the opening so cargo does not fall out. This means hatch panels must be placed before cargo.
Hatch Panel
2 points each
Cargo
3 points each
ROBOT GOALS:
Pirate Robotics developed a strategy to play this year's game as a top support robot. This means we won't try to do everything, but we will do the most important things well. This mindset has served us well in the past.
