Game Strategy
Into the Deep℠ Challenge (2024–2025 FTC)
The 2024-2025 FIRST® Tech Challenge game "Into the Deep℠" tasked teams with collecting and scoring deep-sea themed game elements ("samples") and working with human players to create and place "specimens" on the submersible's chambers. Matches included both an autonomous period and a driver-controlled TeleOp period, with an Endgame focused on parking or ascending the submersible at the end of play.
