    For FIRST Robotics Canada, we have to design a robot to grab PVC pipes and place them on pegs.

    yea its really tight today we were given our challenge and we have 6 weeks to build a robot to compete in the challenge.

    its my third year doing it and each year has been a blast.

    i didn't know that you guys had different challenges I thought it was the same worldwide. And does it like slide the pvc pipes onto the poles?

    I ddn't think the challenges were different either, but that's what we got for ours.
    Yeah, we have to slide the pipes onto the pegs.

    My school got the national bronze medal last year.

    How many teams are there in Canada? And that sounds like it is going to be difficult to pull off, it will take a lot of precision. And thats crazy my team is 2450 and our alliance got like 7th last year at regionals. What is your game named? Also what was your challenge last year ours was named Lunacy.

    Ah crap, I got confused. We do a Skills Canada thing, which is loosely based off of FIRST.
    Either way, it's still a big national robotics competition and we got 3rd place.

    I'm not sure how many teams there was. I believe it was one per province/territory,
