A week and a half later after the Chadwick Scrimmage, the KIS VEX teams are have once again settled into the steady cadence of busy building days, tweaking and refining their robots for the upcoming national tournament. The first placing team 4091V (fourth in the preliminaries) decided to shift their design by flipping around the structure of an arm. The 4091K team also made some changes regarding the design and structure of their robot, but are still formulating some crucial gameplay tactics. The other teams are focused on finishing their robot that has an arm similar to 4091V's motor combination. The main importance that many teams found is that the gear ratios must be small to big in order to get more power. A KIS High School team was able to win first place in the Vex robotics scrimmage in Chadwick International School in South Korea. In the competition the team placed fourth, however, during the finals the KIS team was chosen as an alliance and was able to make it to the finals. Armed with a stable autonomous, the KIS team was able to secure all the autonomous wins. The gameplay of the two allied teams were incredible as their teamwork not only scored many points, but blocked the opponents from scoring as well. |
