Scorpio III/ Billy

With three main ways to score, Edwardsville Technology designed a robot capable of earning points using all three methods. The 2017 game featured a steampunk theme. Teams were required to shoot wiffle balls, which represented fuel, into a simulated boiler that converted the fuel into steam. The generated steam was then transferred to an airship located in the center of the field. Each alliance controlled one airship, which they pressurized with steam from the boiler while also loading it with plastic gears collected from the field. At the end of the match, robots could climb and hang from team-supplied ropes attached to the airship to earn additional points.
