Got 10th place in Washington state with a score of 28 (iirc?) it might have been lower than that haha

For some context of scores in Washington: the first place team at state had a score of 75.00 at regionals, and the third place team at state had a score of 56.05 at regionals. Of course this doesn't necessarily say much about state scores, but I would think the teams performed better at state. There were also fewer no shows at state: eleven at our regional versus two at state.

Third in Georgia with a score of 75. Missed one pencil and did not get any ping pong balls into the cartons, though I pushed two into the north zone. Time was about 2:30.00.

First place in Michigan had about 2:30 with a perfect score. Our team, 3rd place, had consistently gotten 1:50 in practice. Unfortunate for us, the board was not level and two ping pong balls rolled off to the west side when they had been pushed toward the east side. The fourth place team had also consistently gotten 2:00 with a perfect score, but I don't know what their problem was. I do not know if the second place team got a perfect score, but it seems likely. That is at least 4 teams that could have gotten a perfect score, while only two or one did. Just providing some information on how competitive this event has gotten.

Can get perfect score with all 6s in about 55 seconds-1 minute on a good run, at most 1:20 on a decentish run (since major part is autonomous, it doesnt work properly on occasion and that could cost a perfect score).

I'm getting a perfect score with all 6s in about 1 min to 1 min 30 seconds depending on the run

Since the season is over, here is a vid of my Robot Arm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvEEy7aEv88

Hey guys,

So I have been working over the summer designing and building my arm. And, I finished it mechanically. I will still be working on the mimicry arm and coding it and prototyping some penny grippers. It is a traditional SCARA arm. I think it is the first of its kind in science olympiad. As most scara arms that I have seen in scioly don't have joints on the elevator. It uses nema 17s, nema 23s, and a high torque servo. Share your questions, comments, and concerns? Here are the attached files:

Very Interesting and extremely well built from what I can see. Did you have the metal machined? Why the use of a servo instead of another stepper and vice versa?

I used the mill to machine most of it. I used a servo for the last joint because it is much lighter than the stepper and I didnt need full 360 degrees of motion for the last joint.
