I am a part of the Windward Robotics team known as the Omnicats, one of the many clubs offered at my

school. My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams. We

used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.

We meet every day for two hours after school in order to build our robots. Typically, adultsoverseewhat

students are building, but my school lets teens take control. It leaves room for more errors, but we're prouder of

our final product.

Before our first real match, a practice was offered at the actual site. My sub-team had been further along

than other teams but quickly fell behind. When we arrived on that big day, I immediately felt my teammates'

nervousness. Our first match was in three minutes. All of us glanced around at each other since we were not

prepared at all. Our robot was still sitting in a box. Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official

examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy (策略).

Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now, while it was early in the season. She

gave me the remote. I had only driven for a limited amount of time in practice so I was extremely nervous. Our

autonomous code (自动代码) beganto run almost immediately after our short discussion. Despite all the drama,

we ended up winning the match.

Not too bad for the first match! I was so proud. I did not enjoy the pressure of driving but liked building the

robot behind the scenes instead.

We have transferred to a different type of robotics at the end of the semester, which involves the whole team

designing one giant robot with large tools. I am a part of the electrical team now, so I make sure the motherboard

(母板) can supply the robot's energy needs. We have all enjoyed the rest of the season and learned that robotics it

never dull!
