What is something that you think is unique about your robot this season? What about your robot do you think would make it stand out at competition?
One thing unique about our robot this year is the drivetrain, which is a custom billet aluminum coaxial swerve. This is our second iteration since last year's offseason, and something we are proud of as it provides us with greater acceleration/traction on the field!
What types of Outreach do you plan to do for this season? Which of those Outreach initiatives are you most proud of?
Our team participates and hosts a variety of outreach, from presenting FIRST in our community through Farmers Markets, STEM nights, and more, as well as connecting with people interested in FLL and FTC via our LEGO robotics classes and mentorship of many teams both locally and globally. We are most proud of the classes we run as we were able to start a pilot program in a school in Tamil Nadu, India with the help of a sponsor, and hope to grow our impact even more in coming years!
Describe an element of your code which you think will be most advantageous to your performance over the season.
We think using SolversLib, a fork of the common library FTCLib is advantageous as we are able to modify the library as we see necessary and keep it up to date with features and integrations to other libraries like Pedro Pathing, while largely maintaining the stability and years of tested code from FTCLib. We maintain this library for the public, testing changes first and then sharing it with the rest of the world, which you can learn more about at https://docs.seattlesolvers.com!
