Challenges for 2010
- The Game (Breakaway)
- The "Game" is the central focus of the FIRST Robotics competition. On January 3rd of each new season, the Game for that year is broadcasted simultaneously to venues worldwide from Manchester Connecticut. From that day forward, we have 6 weeks to design, build, and test our robot. At the end of those 6 weeks, we pack our robot, and any other materials we will need for the coming competitions, in a shipping container and send it to our FIRST Robotics Regional site where they store the container for us until we arrive for the competition. After we have completed the Regional competition we repack the robot in its container and it is sent ahead to the national competition site where it patiently awaits our arrival for Nationals. Go Alpine Robotics Team 159!
- The Animation (Change Your World)
- The Animation competition, hosted by Autodesk, is the sister competition to the Game. Each year, the subject of the Animation challenge has something to do with Nature or the Environment, technology and the design process. This year's competition is called "Biomimicry" and is a challenge created to expose us to nature’s own technologies and design processes and how we might adapt that knowledge to help us in our own efforts.
