CRC Robotics Competition
« on: February 19, 2012, 01:55:15 am »
So I just came home from one of the most interesting competitions I ever participated to.



This is the Snail. We took something like 6 weeks to build it with our bare hands and not even a week to program it to do what we wanted it to do with a remote control. Then we took it to Montréal (which is about 275 km away) to compete in Profuga 2012. We used a VEX (which have a PIC in it and is remote-controlled). 22 teams participated in this 11th edition, we were the 1st french-speaking team from the Québec region to participate though.

The rules were pretty interesting. 4 teams were competing together in 2 teams, trying to bring cubes to the other side of the field. Obviously, our robot totally failed to stock cubes in the wheel on the picture for later dumping them at the designated place. It was supposed to have claws too, but it never worked. Despite the thing never worked and fell at the near bottom of the rankings, getting eliminated at the first round (1/8 finals), we still won 4 prizes.

- Best website - Best rookie (rookie because it was the 1st time our school participated)
- Best website - 3rd place
- Best presentation video - Best rookie
- The "Lâche pas la patate" perseverance trophy (which was cooler than the other best team overall trophy and the rest of the prizes, it looks like a bunch of metal pieces melted together, actually our 2 mechanics and the electrician kept working on it and modifying it from 7:30AM to 2AM at the hotel room... They merited it.)
- Of course, a participation prize.

So yeah that was pretty interesting, I hope to come back next year. ^_^

That is awesome Juju that you won some prizes and also a nice competition it seems. Congrats and good job. Hopefully you had lots of fun too :D. Too bad the robot didn't work as expected, but it's still nice that you managed to win all those prizes, especially the rookie ones since it was your first time and also the 3rd place for website considering there were 22 teams.

Btw here's the site about his school's robotic team:

http://205.236.12.70/SiteWebCRC/

The .tk URL doesn't work (not a surprise, considering dot.tk sucks :P) so you need to access it there for now.

However... http://205.236.12.70/SiteWebCRC/Home/Jeu your site made me lost the game D:

No, that's not me on the pic.

So yeah, I wasn't really been on a lot for the last 3 days, I was in Laval for the 12th edition of the competition, Velistic 2013 :D This year, the goal was to shoot balls on the other team's targets to make points. 29 teams from 28 schools participated, still the only one from the Québec City region. This time, we made it to the quarterfinals, but we didn't won anything but the participation prize... But we got nominated for the website content prize. We hardly used the VEX and used 2 Arduino Mega instead.

So yeah, that was pretty fun.
