This year's competition was interesting due to the entirely new set of rules for the competition. Our team did very well, taking 4th place among 60 teams. This was much better than we had anticipated; our original goal had been to make it to the 3rd round. There were several reasons for our success, the most important reason being that it was extremely consistent. Our robot never failed to work during competition, it ran successfully every single time. Another reason for our success is that our robot was simplistic. This also ties into the consistency factor, because it is very difficult to make a complex robot work every single time.
Here is a copy of the code we wrote in order to get our car to work.
