On October 18th, Ligerbots hosted Robocon, an event in Cambridge where different FRC teams and other roboticists team up and present the challenges of robotics. Over half a dozen FRC teams attended and presented on subjects such as localization, AI, and programming challenges. Well over a dozen ligerbots attended the event.

One of the challenges proposed involved building a lego catapult to launch a projectile into a series of rings. The Ligerbots excelled at this, having a good time and helping others with their work.

Robocon also held many interesting presentations, including one from members of FRC team 2079 on how a small robot helped them keep trainees engaged and grow their programming team.

All in all, Robocon was a great event. According to Gregory, the event “had a lot of interesting talks, and the lego activity was fun.”
