The Roeper OCCRA Robotics Team is aiming to further our knowledge of robotics, including the design process, programming, physical construction, and team-building, as well as aiming to build a functional robot that can consistently perform at least one operation well. Above all else, we want to have fun while working to accomplish our previously listed goals.
“The Oakland County Competitive Robotics Association (OCCRA) is a full-contact robotics competition; students build and control 120-pound robo-gladiators to place balls or achieve other goals while opponents try to stop them. OCCRA robots are entirely student-designed and built.” -Oakland Schools Education Foundation
The Game: Beach Party
The 2024 OCCRA game, “Beach Party,” has two teams, each with two robots, competing to score the most points. Robots score by shooting balls into bins on their side of the field, and human players add more balls by rolling them from loading stations. The game takes place on a field with a central net, goal areas, and marked zones. With 51 balls in play, teams earn bonuses based on their final score, either for winning or tying.
