January 17th 2023 – Team 16537 LOGICoyote at the Charlottesville Qualifier, Jan 15. The team did really well – the robot design has fully come together and performed well. The team definitely has some more work to do before our next competition in 2 weeks (1/29 @ Norfolk State University), but they have an excellent foundation to build on! During Qualifying matches we had 3 wins and 2 losses, but we were not selected into the finals tournament. During the award ceremony, LOGIOCoyote was awarded 1st place Design Award – “Industrial design at its best. This judged award recognizes design elements of the robot that are both functional and aesthetic. The Design Award is presented to teams that incorporate industrial design elements into their solution. These design elements could simplify the robot’s appearance by giving it a clean look, be decorative in nature, or otherwise express the creativity of the team. The robot should be durable, efficiently designed, and effectively address the game challenge.”
