#competitive robotics

[crowscadence]

It’s crunch time for this year’s robotics season and it’s giving me so many ideas for a stupid BSD high school AU revolving around them being robotics nerds. The ADA and the PM are rival teams in the same local hub that manage to kind of get along when they both advance to nationals. Dazai/Chuuya were the PM’s best driver/spotter duo (in either order) until Dazai swapped schools a couple years ago. Kunikida is an absolute beast who helps oversee the build team and also makes sure that marketing campaign is perfect down to the letter. Everyone in the pit had better pray whenever Atsushi and Akutagawa happen to be driving for their respective teams during the same round

This is niche as hell but do you see the vision

I’m gonna cry bro one of the members of my old robotics team asked what my college shipping address is so they can send me a care package I love them

Competitive Robotics is the newest MN Sport

Competitive Robotics is the newest MN Sport

There’s a new sport coming this month to Rushford-Peterson school and it doesn’t involve any kind of ball, hockey puck, or brand-new bat. It’s called competitive robotics and it’s a real thing. The new sport is coming to Rushford-Peterson school for the first time, thanks to second-year science teacher Mike Mulholland.

Students in competitive robotics work during the season as a team to build…

HOLY SHIT TODAY HAS SUCKED AND HAS BEEN AWESOME

fucking sucked the biggest asshole today at the robotics comp(not really)

went 2/4

generally go perfect score

but i didnt get to practice at all between the last competition(which was in october) and today

which sucks

so i lost 4 matches

one match my allied robot stopped working

one i flipped

one my robot burned out

and another one my allied robot didnt even fucking show up

like

if youre gonna sign up

dont fucking not show up

anyways

in the elimination matches, 

our school's other robot got 1st seed (i would've been 2nd if i wouldnt have gotten fucked over; i digress)

anyways

ya pick 2 other robots to be in ur alliance if you top eight

goes down the line picking your first ally

and then goes down again to pick the next

if someone in top 8 gets picked, then they go to that alliance that picked them, and their spot in top 8 is filled by the next seed 

if you get picked, you cant be picked by anyone else

thats where this shit gets tricky

anyways 

our other robot picks a different robot that was hands down one of the best robots there(we allianced with him at the last competition lulz)

and then it gets to last pick for top 8

the nard picks me

so i basically have to accept

so my school's other robot had to pick our ally's school's other robot

anyways

i ended up playing them 1st match of quarterfinals(roflmao)

we lost(obv)

they went to finals

and then some shit went down

>crunch time

had to swap a motor

fucked up

lost at finals

4TH COMPETITION IN A ROW WEVE BEEN TO WHERE WE GET FUCKED OVER IN FINALS

its w/e

our ally got best design award so he got his spot to state(he deserved it he was cool and nice as shit)

anyways

thats what went down

and im sleepy and gotta be up at 7:00 am for work
