Task: Analyze our performance at the Full Moon Scrimmage

Today, Iron Reign attended the annual Full Moon Scrimmage hosted by Marcus High School. We competed in two matches and won both, but they were primarily due to our alliance partners since we faced lots of problems with our robot.

The biggest issue we faced was our wiring management. Since our pincer claw was attached the night before the scrimmage, the wiring was very unorganized. In the morning of the competition, we tried to fix the wiring quickly, but we were unable to do so and the wires ended up getting more tangled and confusing. By the time our first match came, the claw was inoperable due to the wiring being done incorrectly. We tried to make last minute efforts, but in the second match as well the robot was only able to push samples in the bucket zone. Even though we were unsatisfied with our performance, we were able to learn a lot about how to fix similar problems in the future. Now, we plan to organize our wiring, replace the claw with our beater bar system, and to design a new chassis using our swerve modules that were developed this summer.
