The FIRST Robotics Competition game for 2022 is Rapid React. The game and field is themed around loading cargo on airplanes. It was focused around a central hub balls were shot into and an innovative end game apparatus where robots had to climb up a set of rungs like playground monkey bars.
Game Reveal
Meet our 2022 robot, Danger Noodle
Danger Noodle featured an autonomous routine capable of building an early lead by delivering 4-to-5 balls in the upper goal. With its rotating turret and visual targeting, Danger Noodle consistently scored over 10 more balls during the teleoperated period. Finally, Danger Noodle used an internal gyroscope to reliably automate a climb to the traversal rung in under 15 seconds.
