Finally… The 2023 build season has begun, the exciting celebration to welcome a new year, & a new season. Everyone works together to create a great environment & enjoyable time. My very first time experiencing something like this, and to say the least, it was great.
“CHARGED UP" is the name of the 2023 game! The game consists of two alliances of three teams who compete to score cubes and cones into their grids to CHARGE UP their communities.
After hearing the big news of how the new games will be this year, without wasting any time, they divided us into groups, about seven. We all started by pointing out what was most important about the evergreen rules and new ones. We then had to go through the very excruciating test to determine whether we knew our rules well. We then got to theorizing and strategizing our idea's. Following every hour, we all met back up to share what we had discussed regarding score-taking, methods, and strategies. After spending the majority of day talking, strategizing, and finishing up the main objective, day one had come to an end. On day two, the team focused on must-do's, could-do's, and won't- do's of the season.
A while after we all had discussed everything as a group, everybody divided to continue working in their subgroups. Most of the CAD, programming, and manufacturing teams had been there to discuss various ways to make prototypes and designs for the robot. We were all over the place. Members of programming got straight to working on code for the new robot. Business got to work on writing essays, social media, graphic design and blogging (could you have guessed?), and planning. Meanwhile, the others were designing and theorizing things for the robot.
Other members were in the shop, manufacturing those ideas into reality!
Focusing on building the ideas & prototypes to see what could be changed or better. Our team also started making a version of the field for this season.
And with that, the kickoff of the 2023 build season has come to a wrap. There’s so much to come, and I can’t wait to see where this carries us. I wish us and everybody in first the best of luck, see you soon on….
THE AUSTIN CANS!
