The Strategy
Mevtron's strategy revolved around an L-shaped maneuver across the board. After orientation, Mevtron drove towards the 4-ball collection on the field and drove straight to the edge of the horizontally connected scoring zone. Thereafter, Mevtron would double back to the starting zone, and complete the run by driving into the 2-ball collection and sitting in the vertically contiguous scoring zone.
After building and rebuilding Mevtron's intricate drive trains, along with a plethora of tests on the coding of the happyboard, Team Mevdor finally gave the go-ahead for impounding Mevtron in the lab. A minor violation was brought to the team's attention the following morning, but a quick set of fixes cleared the robot to compete. During the seeding rounds, Mevtron came out with a score of 2-1, seeding 11th. The Qualifying rounds came next, in which Mevtron acquired both a win and a loss. This was sufficient to let Mevtron into the 6.270 finals, where Mevtron managed three impressive wins before finally losing in the fourth match.
Ultimately, Mevtron retires with a standing record of 6-3, a solid record for a robot with a team of only two members. Each of Mevtron's losses is attributed to a mysterious power sink somewhere through the robot: Mevtron halted before being able to cut back on the prescribed path in all of his lost matches. After exhaustive testing, Team Mevdor can only claim that the motors are burnt out from the testing and backdriving that they invariably suffered during testing and design.
