Back in the blue // Competing with an alliance robotics team, the blue side prepares and speaks with the announcer before the round. Since these teams work together, they must coordinate and communicate to know where to go at what time. The robots are controlled by programming (automatically) first and then manually by controller. The goals are scored by the team’s ability to utilize the arm and hook then get back onto the ramp in three minutes.
