The Revolver
Red Alert's rookie robot, designed to score balls into high and low goals.
The Game
Aim High was the name of the game in 2006. During autonomous mode, robots scored into any of three goals: one high goal and two low goals. The highest scoring robot during this period gained bonus points and was placed in defense for the next round. In the second and third rounds, the alliances switched to either offense or defense. At the start of round 4, an alliance could score into goals for game points. Bonus points could be earned in the endgame by placing its three alliance robots on a platform.
The Robot
The Revolver made it to semifinals at the Boilermaker Regional. It was designed to pick up balls and score into high and low goals, with a shooter that pivoted to aim into each goal.
This was Red Alert’s first official competition season, and we came away as Regional Finalists at the Boilermaker Regional, also receiving the Rookie Inspiration Award.
