First Robotics 2012 - Rebound Rumble

[RandomManiac]

Hey Everyone,

My team (4252) competed in this years First Robotics Compititon, Rebound Rumble.

This was our rookie year and we managed to make it to the Ontario GTA East semi-finals! (Where we faced our mentor team and got creamed)

So I decided to make the game court just because i can.








Here is the link to the animation about this years event held all around the world.
It explains the basics of the game.

First Robotics is a competition for high school students.
The teams have to build a robot to complete the tasks that are involved in the game.
Anyone who has seen or competed in a First Robotics event will know how much fun it is!
So I just had to make this years game arena!


Let me know if you have ever competed before and if you want, what team you were part of.

Thanks,
RandomManiac

Great Program. Did it all through high school. I wish I had more time to mentor but I always watch the livestreams. 1717 and 987 and the LA Regional just dominated. No one can beat them.

That's exactly what I wanted to know.

Will you make a robot besides the court?

I will probably build a large scale version of the robot our team built.

But I am in the process of creating a very large project. So it will be in the waiting line.

You should have a CAD, so it shouldn't be that hard if you scale it right. Now with the upside down stairs and half-steps it should be easier.
