The path for this your iRaiders squad started in the robot labs of Melrose High School in December. After winning both the overall championship and the programming skills at both the regionals and state championshpi they spent another 3-4 weeks tuning the software, reviewing game strategy from other events held around the world, and improving their overal robot.
In the final two weeks they meet for 14 consecutive days refining the autonomous mode of the robot. In this mode the robot had to score as many points as it could without any human control. By scoring 30 points in a single round they locked up the World Championship position.
