It’s Build Season and this is the 2018 FRC Challenge - FIRST Power Up
Meet Squishy! Our milk-crate placing, defensive blocking, six-wheeled omni-drive, carbon fiber and composite construction powerhouse!
"FIRST POWER UP finds FIRST Robotics Competition teams trapped in an 8-bit video game. Each three-team alliance has three ways to help defeat the boss: Tipping the scale or the alliance’s switch in their favor to earn points, exchanging power cubes for power ups (force, boost, and levitate) to gain a temporary advantage during the match, and climbing the scale tower to face the boss. The alliance with the highest score at the end of the match, which includes autonomous and teleoperated periods, defeats the boss and wins the game."
