High-school students build two robots using Java: an FTC 18-inch cube and an FRC 5-foot, 125 pounds machine; code lives on GitHub with a couple hundred commits during a six-week build season and is built with Ant. Robots use many sensors and improved computer vision shots to run autonomously. At regionals the robot places 8th of ~50, gets picked by the 4th-place alliance and wins New York City; at championships it finishes 8th of 75, upsets through eliminations and wins its division and the Chairman’s Award.
