XBOT Robotics - team XBOT #488 had an amazing 2018 season with the team qualifying and competing at the state and the world championship in Houston, TX. team XBOT #488 was the semifinalist for the Roebling division. HS team XBOT competed against the top 405 teams from around the world. Our division had teams from Israel, Chili, Turkey, Mexico, New South Wales, Australia and China! Shout out to our Roebling Division alliance team captain Eugene Oregon, and team members from Kansas and Israel.
A unique feature on our 2018 robot was the Power Cube Identification. Robot vision (game piece identification) has been a FHS team XBOT programming team project for three years and this year it worked! The field is 27' by 54' with three major scoring structures - quite the challenge. |
