Explorer Post 1010 registered team 160 in the 2024 Botball Educational Robotics program. We formed our team in the fall of 2023 with a few new members. We developed our robots at the Rockville Science Center storefront with meetings on Wednesday and some Saturdays.

Fall Competition

The program organizers, KIPR, created an online fall competition that gave us a focus. The game was an initial view of the game to be released in January. We signed up to compete and received some game parts. We used equipment and parts from the previous years.

There were 16 teams in the event on December 9, 2023. We ranked 2nd in seeding. We won four and loss two matches in double elimination both to Westchester. Overall we ended up third.

After the fall. we restarted with changes to the board and scoring. We completed a Quiz to establish understanding of the game. We spent considerable effort getting the Create 3 to work.
