    Co-Opertition FIRST (2000)

    Robots climbing onto the bar


    2000 was the first year the McKinley Robotics Team participated in the FIRST Robotics Competition. The game was played on a large rectangular field with 2 troughs suspended in the air in the center of the field. There is also a ramp in the middle of the field with a bar suspended 5 feet high.

    The object of the game was to get large yellow and black balls into the troughs. A robot on the ramp or suspended from the center bar at the end of the match would receive bonus points for their alliance.
