Overview:

We recognize that some teams may not have access to their robots but will still want to participate in these challenges. As such, Trick Shot challenge will have a category which does not involve robots. Instead team members will be the ones taking and making the Trick Shots!

Rules
  1. There is no robot requirement for this challenge, i.e. Humans are doing the shooting
  2. Teams may use any FRC Game Piece(s)
  3. The intent is for teams to get creative and do some cool stuff that’ll make jaws drop!

  5. Be creative! If you don’t have a goal, it’s okay to do some wicked bounce shots into garbage cans, lockers, or whatever else you can think
      • Watch some professional Trick Shot videos on YouTube for some inspiration
      • Don’t be afraid to be bold!
  6. Set the video to music to add to the energy and hype
      • Think of videos that have gone viral on various platforms. See if you can match that energy!
