Prototyping
This week I started making new robot prototypes. I started doing this because while I did qualify rather easily the next competition is in March so teams will have plenty of time to improve and all the teams at this next event will have qualified too. Not only that but there will be more teams competing for a few spots to get to the next level, worlds. I really want to get to worlds because you get to compete against teams from all over the world like China or England and because I would get to travel to Kentucky. My current robot can only score one point per ball because it doesn't shoot. To even have a chance of qualifying my new robot has to shoot. There's a lot of other things I want my robot to be like be small, fast, powerful, get balls fast, and shoot balls fast. Not every condition will be met so I have to decide which traits will help my team score more points. Right now I am prototyping specific parts of the robot such as the intake or the base but once I find out what works and what doesn't I will put it all together in one robot. That's all for now bye.

Wait, so it has to shoot a ball? Does it have to get the ball in to something like a basketball net? I'm confused.
