Explorer Post 1010 registered Team 6417
the Blu Cru in the 2020 FIRST Tech Challenge robotics
program. The theme and title of the challenge was
Ultimate Goal.
In the spring of 2020 Maryland FTC was absorbed into FIRST Chesapeake
organization.
And because of the pandemic, the process for regional competitions were revised.
The traditional competitions were converted to hybrid or remote.
We kicked off our effort in early September.
We set up a field in the Rockville Science storefront, given the library was closed.
We were only able to recruit one new member.
We ordered some new parts, but built an initial robot mostly out of parts from last year.

We had many concerns on when and how we would compete.
We met at the storefront but not as often as we needed and with participation issues.
We conducted a few outreach activities, including a class in programming Python.
But the pandemic kept us out of the schools and other opportunities.
We signed up for two qualification tournaments in January and February,
that would be conducted following a hybrid format in Fulton Maryland.
As the competitions got closer, we switched to running the matches ourselves remotely in the Center's storefront.
|
The first remote qualifier was held during the week of
January 23 to January 31 (17
teams). We ran our matches on the half
field at the Rockville Science Center storefront. We
submitted documentation for the
Code and
Control awards. We
were finalist for the Connect Award.
Our
team ranking was 7th place. Here is
a
list of all the awards.
We participated in the second remote qualifier two
weeks after the first (36
teams). We again submitted
documentation for the
Control award. We again used the field at
the Science Center. Our scores were much improved,
especially the teleop ring scoring. Our
team ranking was 5th place. We
received
feedback on our portfolio.
