The FRC kickoff was an amazing experience overall. In the beginning when the
meeting had just started, I did not know what to expect. The team worked
through Kickoff, which I found showed how serious Kickoff was. Then, after
the Kickoff animation was watched multiple times, the team went to
work immediately on thinking and debating the most effective way to play the
game. This was very surprising because I did not think that this much thought
went into the most effective way to score points, and it goes to show
how thorough the team is. In fact, we only did basic robot design because
there was a lot of conversation and debate on the most efficient ball/
hatch placement and such. Overall, I would say the Buzz Robotics team did
very well in this Kickoff meeting and I am happy to be on the team.

Kick-off was interesting with the fact that everyone had their mind set
that the game was going to do with outer space. My favorite part of build
season so far is making mechanisms that can potentially help us pick up
the required items in order to gain points and the fact that we are getting
to make parts of the bot. Though it does take a lot of work and effort to
make the parts of the bot, it’s still very fun. It’s also fun to work with all
the different mentors that we have here working with us to get the bot
done. Though it is a lot of work to make certain parts, it's still fun to work
with the team. It also is a little challenging with the fact that everyone has
different ideas of how the bot is going to work, but I still think that we
will be able to compromise. Other than that, I hope to have a great year
in Buzz Robotics!
