What is ASIMO?
You have two minutes to move as many soccer balls and footballs to the other side of the field. At the end of the game soccer balls and footballs are counted. Footballs are worth 3 points, soccer balls are worth 1 point, soccer balls in the goal are worth 3 points. If all the soccer balls and footballs are pushed to one side it is called swept away.

what is a ratio of 1:4?
This robot was inspired by Sphero BB-8
What is the LG rolling bot?
I changed the arm to a scoop. I changed the gear ratio to 1:4 increasing the power but decreasing the speed. I made the robot thinner to change the turn radius.
How did you modify your robot?

What is the purpose of gears?
This robot has whole-body mobile manipulation which allows balance.
What is the Boston Dynamics Atlas?
When we modified the robot our gear ratio was too high and the motor did not have enough force to move the robot. The following week we changed the gear ratio. Our robot was slower than we wanted but it did work.
Was your team successful in modifying the robot?
This is only worth 1 point
How many points are standard soccer balls worth?
This device pairs the remote with the cortex
What is the VEXnet key?
When I move this the left set of wheels move on the robot.
What is the left joystick?
This is what ASIMO stands for
What is Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility?

What are the different jobs of the team?
This is the number of footballs and soccer balls on each side before the game begins.
What is 12 soccer balls and 6 footballs?
