Destination: Deep Space!

Posted on January 12, 2019 by Matthew Hayden Posted in Home, Uncategorized

This year’s game for the 2019 season is Destination: Deep Space! Teams have to place “hatch panels” and “cargo” into a rocket ship and cargo ship located in various locations around the field in order to score points. Teams have two minutes and thirty seconds to place enough hatch panels and cargo into these locations before they must return to their habitat.

Our team has been working hard to understand the game in more detail, develop a basic idea of how the game will be played at competitions, and develop systems for our robot in order to be successful.

We will compete at St. Joseph (3/9-3/10), Rocket City Regional (3/14-3/17), and Center Grove (3/29-3/30) after the build season concludes.

2018 World Championships

Posted on May 23, 2018 by Ploy Unchit Posted in Competitions, Uncategorized

On April 25th, Cyber Blue traveled to Detroit, Michigan to compete at Worlds. It took place in the Cobo Center this year.

We ranked 8th with a record of 6-6-0 in the Darwin division. Our alliances were Team 1519 (Mechanical Mayhem) and Team 3130 (The ERRORs). It was a hard fought battle, but unfortunately, Cyber Blue did not make it past the Quarterfinal round.

Overall, Cyber Blue had a successful season with a new blue banner (Winner of the Plainfield District) and new awards such as the Excellence in Engineering Award, two Innovation in Control Awards, and a Dean’s List Finalist Award (Haley Sellhorn). We are looking forward to a successful off-season also!
