This is FLL team 5831 Ctrl-Z's robot from our regional competition in December, scoring 220 points in under 2.5 minutes. See the new and improved version at • Ctrl-Z INTO ORBIT 249 ...

Nice. Not too many people did launch al 3 on the space ramp. The other missions are fun too. I like how you used pneumatics.

Nice robot overall guys, but as an FLL 2018 competitor, I know that at 0:08, when the robot drives away and leaves the attachment behind, that's a junk penalty, and that at 0:44, the payloads are not delivered properly. They should have been put on the orange piece, and been raised to slide down the ramp. Hope you didn't include those points in the 220, and took away three points for the junk penalty. However, like I said, a really impressive robot overall, so good job.

Thank you for your interest in our robot. In previous years, there was a junk penalty for leaving behind robot attachments on the playing field, but the INTO ORBIT Challenge Guide describes no such penalty for this year's robot game. During the Space Travel mission, the robot is required to "start each Payload clearly rolling down the Space Travel Ramp". The only requirement is that it must be rolling independently by the first track connection. There is no stipulation that it must be set in motion by lifting the orange part of the track.

Oh right, I see, I'll look back over that! Thanks for pointing those things out there, that should be helpful! Again, I did really love watching the robot work, a nice contrast to my own!!
