2022: Blair

The game for 2022 was Rapid React. During the 2 minute 30 second game, in RAPID REACT presented by The Boeing Company, two competing alliances are invited to process cargo for transportation. Each alliance is assigned a cargo color (red or blue, based on alliance affiliation) to process by retrieving their assigned cargo, a ball the size of a volleyball, and scoring it in the high or low goals, 8.5 feet and 4.5 feet high respectively. Human players assist the cargo retrieval and scoring efforts from within their terminals. In the final moments of each match, alliance robots race to engage with their hangar to prepare for transport by having the robots climb.

We left for the Idaho Regional on March 30th where we set up our pits. The next day we had our practice matches, and on April 1st we had 9 of our 12 qualification matches. We had the opprotunity to compete with 27 other teams from all over the state, California, Utah, Montana, and Canada. After the qualification matches, we were chosen by team 3006, Red Rock Robotics, to be on their alliance. Our other alliance partner was team 1622, Spyder. We had a great time competing in the quarterfinals.

The team had a blast getting to compete at the 2022 Idaho Regional. We were faced with several challeges, but we always overcame them and we able to compete in all of our matches. During every match the team could be heard cheering from the stands. The team and Blair gave are all during the 2022 Idaho Regional.
