2019 – DESTINATION: Deep Space

The 2019 theme for all the FIRST programs is FIRST LAUNCH, and the FIRST Robotics Competition game is Destination: Deep Space. The game centers around an outer space theme involving two alliances consisting of three teams each competing to place poly-carbonate hatch panels and orange rubber balls or “cargo” on rockets and cargo ships before returning to their HAB platform to climb at the end of the match.

Game Reveal

Meet our 2019 robot, Outlaw

A rogue worker from the Orbital Outpost, Outlaw handles cargo and hatch panels, and climbs to the level 3 HAB platform at the end of the game. It uses a wheeled intake to suck in and shoot out cargo and a “bird beak” to grab hatch panels from the inside. To climb, it uses suction to grab onto the level 3 platform. It then rotates the entire robot safely onto the platform.
