“The Big Tickle” was the only bot at the the Pittsburgh regional FIRST Robotics Competition that tried climbing all the way to the top rung for 30 points. The crowd went wild every time our bot did its thing. We got picked by the seventh-ranked team to join their alliance in the quarter finals. Though we lost both quarter final matches, and thus were out pretty quickly, we did win a Judge’s Choice award at the end of the day.
Here’s a video of the first time our bot did its thing, taken Thursday by one of the other mentors.

I wish I could have made it to this competition. There is nothing like seeing this stuff up close and personal. I have always been fascinated with robots especially as a little kid. The clip was pretty cool.
