Otariinae
Named after the subfamily of eared seals, built to launch power cells. Season cut short by COVID-19.
The Game
FIRST Infinite Recharge challenged robots to collect and launch Power Cells (yellow foam balls) into goals while navigating a color-spinning control panel and climbing at the end of the match.
The Robot
Otariinae returned for the 2020 season, sharing its name with the 2018 version and reflecting the team’s design lineage and continuous improvement philosophy.
The 2020 season was unfortunately cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the team was able to compete at early events before the worldwide shutdown.
The team won the District Chairman’s Award at the Bloomington District and the Chairman’s Award at the Indiana State Championship before the rest of the season was suspended.
