The game was INFINITE RECHARGE AT HOME™. Since COVID-19 was at its peak, FIRST had to adapt to restrictions. We were able to work as a team and build a robot named "Sidewinder."
​
Competition was virtual challenges with judged awards. The first challenge we participated in was FIRST Innovation Challenge Event presented by Qualcomm. After this we were part of the Nitrogen Group - FIRST Innovation Challenge, INFINITE RECHARGE At Home Challenge Event, Sulfur Group - INFINITE RECHARGE At Home Challenge, Game Design Challenge Event, Nickel Group - Game Design Challenge, and lastly, the Midwestern Plains Region Awards Event. These challenges allowed us to compete against more than 800 FRC teams and we ranked 3rd for the Sulfur Group at home challenge. We also won the creativity award sponsored by Rockwell Automation in the Nickel Group.
INFINITE RECHARGE AT HOME™ consisted of virtual challenges and judged awards. In the virtual challenges, robots faced challenges inspired by the Infinite Recharge games. The Judged Awards included a new Innovation Challenge where Teams tackled real world problems regarding fitness and sought to find a solution and the traditional Chairman’s Award.
