Ria is our lead programmer. In VEX IQ competitions, a part of the competition is an autonomous component where the robot must score points with no driver control. The points and robots rely on the code. Ria used VEX IQ code blocks, the code software given to us by the competition. Using the code, the robot has to navigate through the 6 feet by 8 feet field and be able to score. Ria was also the web developer. She created the site and added the information that the team as a whole created. Using a template which consists of CSS and JS, Ria developed the site using HTML. The site was constantly updated and showed our progress as time went on.

Building

Riyashi is our lead builder and designer. Due to online learning, our robot and building phase has been halted. Our robot currently consists of a 4 bar lift and a passive claw.
