2021 Game Design Challenge

In addition to working on a robot, we also worked on the Game Design Challenge this year! The Game Design Challenge was a challenge by FIRST for FRC teams to create their own FRC game. This is our game “Aquatic Adventure”, a game where the robots must work together to retrieve the sunken treasure!

Here are the list of game elements used in Aquatic Adventure:
