The Durant robotics team, the Mechanicats, received the Innovate Award at a recent League Tournament, and advanced to Super Qualifiers. The League Tournament is the first round of the postseason for robotics, 12 teams will move on from each location. Super Qualifiers are the second round, eight teams move on from there (each super qualifier will have 24 teams: 12 from each of two league tournaments). Those teams will compete at state, and four will move on from there. Finally, Worlds is at either Detroit (north) or Houston (south). This season has been remote (meaning teams set up a field and run the competition and then report scores). Super Qualifiers will be April 3. State will probably be mid to late May. Worlds will be mid-summer. Participating were (from left) coach Joey Kramer, Gannon Ryan, Blake Thoma, Timothy Junis, Brock Jones and Logan Wolf. According to coach Kramer, “The Innovate Award is given to teams who come up with an interesting way of solving the problem. The Mechanicats came up with both some interesting code solutions (a way to stabilize the voltage running to the flywheels) and 3D-printed parts (including a ramp/basket system to carry disks) to work through this year’s competition.”
