“Featuring multiple cameras, encoders, IR sensors, and magnets, their robot is certainly “hall-effective.” Even when their robot is in the “limelight,” it performs consistently and navigates reliably, knowing its surroundings. Finally, with its ability to climb the platform in a single autonomous routine, this robot separates itself from the pack. You might even say that this makes it the Outlier.”

“This award celebrates form and function in an efficiently designed machine that effectively addresses the game challenge. Their product and process reflect the mission of FIRST by demonstrating sound technology and development from start to finish. With their clean design and great attention to detail, this team produced a well polished robot. Not only were they hanging with the best of them, but they were breaking away in success, they may have come a long way, but afterall, they are The Outliers”
