Competition Day

It is competition day and Team Brute Forcier is all pumped up. This is the culmination of a semester’s worth of strategy planning, CAD drawings, manufacturing and testing. Based on the seeding round the previous day, Brute Forcier was seeded 6th out of 32 teams. What a good sign! We headed to the Design Expo at 1.30pm where we were greeted by a huge crowd which had gathered to watch our Slot-Bots in action. We wasted no time in preparing our machine Tate against our first-round opponent Team Juggernots. Juggernots made use of an arm design as well but that is where the similarity ends. In a closely contested battle, Tate prevailed and Team Brute Forcier advanced into the second round where we faced Above Average Joes. Unfortunately for Tate, we were up against a better team and lost. Nevertheless we felt a proud sense of achievement having come this far.

This course has been a great experience for the team and we sincerely thank our Professor John Hart and GSIs Mark, Sejin and Jean.
