BIOBUZZ Game Strategy
Before building a ROBOT or choosing ROBOT concepts it is important to analyze the game strategy and figure out which tasks matter most. To do this, we evaluated every scoring action based on its difficulty and point value and set clear goals for teams with different experience levels.
As explained in the Game Strategy, it is better for Intermediate Teams to focus on HIVE TIPS rather than scoring in FLOWERS.
AUTO
The robot launches SCORING ELEMENTS into the HIVE to achieve 1 or 2 TIPS and afterwards completes the PARK and LEAVE actions.
The starting position and actions depend on the ALLIANCE partner.
The starting position and actions depend on the ALLIANCE partner.

TELEOP
- SCORE (2:00 - 0:10)

- PARK (00:10 - 00:00)In the last 5-10 seconds, drive your robot to the LOADING ZONE and PARK before time runs out.
