The colors made it look like a rainbow, with each team proudly flaunting their team pride with their shirts, hats, and sweatshirts. We were one of the eighteen teams competing in the OMSI scrimmage, and everyone wore their Pandamonium shirts, making it easier to pick us out of the crowd. The scrimmages we participated in were two on two, red against blue. The point was to get as many balls as possible into the opponents’. There were three people in the game for each team- a driver, a coach, and a human player, who tried to toss the balls into the trailers. In our first scrimmage, our ally was team 1951, and while we lost the match, we won the second one.
After lunch, there was a free-for all practice, where everyone joined together to just play around, and throw the balls into the trailers. It was nice to see that while competing against each other, the teams could still enjoy each others company. After lunch, we competed in a few more matches, and then found out that we qualified for the finals. During the semi finals, we won our first two matches, which meant that we didn’t have to compete a third time, because we had already won two of three.
The final match was in three sets. Our opponents tied with us in the first set, and we won the second set. During the third set, our robot broke down, the radio falling off, which meant that it couldn’t receive signals anymore, and basically sat in one place until we fixed it. Luckily we managed to, and while we lost the third set, we won the fourth which was played because we were still tied with the other team. The prize for our team was Sketchbook Pro 2010 and we’re all very proud that our robot did so well.
