Overview

Over Under is the 2023–24 VEX Robotics Competition game, played with triball-shaped game pieces. Our robot was built to push triballs into a floor-mounted goal, and to climb at the end of a match.

The endgame mechanism is a cascading lift that raises the robot 30 inches off the ground. At the World Championship the robot took the Think Award — recognition for the programming strategy and autonomous development behind it.
