Brainstorming for Breakaway

Team 2468 chose to spend Saturday of Kickoff inventorying and identifying parts as well as reading the rules page by page as team.  Breakaway is the title for this years game.  Alliances have to score soccer balls in their own goal while attempting to prevent the opposing Alliance from scoring in their goal. 
On Saturday afternoon, we read thru the rules as a group.  The rules were discussed to clarify what each one meant and how it applied to our team.  The discussion often times would go off on an tangent into strategy and design of the robot.  As in the past, this was expected while at the same time, we tried to stay true to our purpose of the day:  read and understand the rules. 

At the end of the day, we discussed how we would look at the strategy and design of the robot in six parameters.  The parameters were:

  • Offensively we will ...
  • Offensively we might ...
  • Offensively we will not ...
  • Defensively we will ...
  • Defensively we might ...
  • Defensively we will not ...
Team members were dismissed with their rules packets in hand late in the afternoon.  Small discussions of different designs and aspects of the game broke out in the classroom and shop. 
Brainstorming as a group will occur on Monday night.
