Catapults on robots... because why not? 💥
🚀 In our most audacious battle bots we've ever attempted, students launched blocks to knock down opponents' towers, robots crashed into each other to prevent their opponents from launching...all the while our team alumni tried to shoot down their blocks mid air and cause various forms of mayhem...with the goal of having your team's towers be the last one standing.
🫨 It. Was. Wild. And awesome. 😁
