Explorer Post 1010 registered Team 6417 the Blu Cru
in the 2022/2023 FIRST Tech Challenge robotics program. The theme and title of the challenge was
Power Play.
We kicked off our effort in late August. We set up a
game field in the Rockville Library Makerspace with
official boarder walls. We recruited seven new members.
We ordered some new parts, but built an initial robot mostly out of parts from last year.
We signed up for two qualification tournaments in
December and January.
Our team records/results are available
on-line
(Records as of March 2023).Some of the videos are on our YouTube channel.
While it is hard to see in the videos and pictures, we redesigned and rebuilt our
robot several times between the tournaments.
