The Robot Game
About the Game
The Robot Game is one of the main parts of the FIRST LEGO League competition. In this challenge, teams design, build, and program a robot that completes missions on a competition field. Each mission represents a task connected to the season’s theme.
Teams have 2 minutes and 30 seconds to complete as many missions as possible. The robot must start from the base area and operate autonomously using programs created by the team.
Success in the Robot Game requires a combination of engineering, programming, strategy, and teamwork.
Our Robot
Our robot was designed to complete missions accurately, quickly, and reliably. During the design process we focused on creating a strong and stable structure while keeping the robot simple and efficient.
We tested different designs and attachments to find the best solutions for the missions. Each improvement helped us make the robot more precise and consistent during the runs.
Our goal was to create a robot that could perform multiple tasks with minimal errors.
Preeliminary Round Strategy
→ Solve everything as quick as possible.
→ Solve as many missions as possible with one run
→ Total of 14 missions solved with 6 runs
→ We start from the right start area
→ Hugo L and Georg are on the right and Robin and Martin on the left
Current Strategy
→ Solving all of the missions
→ Most of the points comes from the left side of the field
→ Same team placement as before
Programming
Programming plays a crucial role in the Robot Game. We used programming to control the robot’s movement, sensors, and mission actions.
The robot uses carefully tested programs to navigate the field and interact with mission models. We continuously improved the programs by testing different movement speeds, turning angles, and sensor-based adjustments.
Through repeated testing and iteration, we improved both the accuracy and reliability of the robot’s performance.
What We Learned?
Through the Robot Game we developed important skills in engineering, programming, teamwork, and problem-solving.
We learned how to plan strategies, test ideas, and work together to overcome challenges. Most importantly, we learned that innovation often comes through experimentation and persistence.
The Robot Game showed us how technology, creativity, and teamwork can work together to solve complex challenges.
