Roboknights Put Up Valiant Fight at Robotics Competition

News Brief and Photos by Braylon Wims.

On February 6, 2022, Friendship Robotknights Braylon Wims, Jakari Powell, Ahmad Nash, Alexander Santos, Kaniya Johnson, and Maya Jackson attended their second robotics competition of the season, Tipping Point. This competition was an amazing experience for us with lots of big robots in the alliance battles and singular skills challenges. Even though our robot was smaller than the rest, we still tried our best and did the best we could with what we had. We gained a lot of experience and potential ideas for our next robot. For example, next time we’ll attach grabbers on both sides of the robot and build a big enough robot so we can hold a mini-base on the back. We’ll take the experience from this loss, work harder, smarter, and be more creative with the next robots.
