Last Minute Robot Game Practice

🎃 Last Minute Robot Game Practice

Posted 3 years ago by the Penpol Pumpkins

We’ve just completed our final practice runs for the Robot Games, earning a max score of 315 on our best run. We’re really hoping to recreate this at the event in Massachusetts 🤞🏻

We also gave the robot a quick inspection before packing it away for travel and thank goodness we did – two pieces were completely broken! Just goes to show how hard the robot has been working recently! A quick bit of surgery and we’re good to go.

“You might think the day before we fly isn’t the best time to treacherously rip apart our robot to try and rebuild it – and you’d be right! Luckily, we fixed the robot and we’re excited to pack it away in our suitcase.” – Felix

“We realised after rebuilding that the gyro turn didn’t work anymore. We went onto YouTube and found a great video from the LEGO Maskers which helped us do the gyro turn again!” – Jenna
