SkillsUSA

Apart from FIRST robotics, I compete in a SkillsUSA competition called Mobile Robotics Technology. We compete in these competitions with 2 man teams, and my partner was Sanjai Bashyam. Sanjai and I have both worked together on robot-related things for 3 years, and have been good friends since 4th grade. I find that the communication between us is extremely effective and efficient, and I wish we could model this relationship with all members of the club.

Anyway, SkillsUSA is unfortunately at the same time as FIRST, and we always elect to prioritize FIRST over Skills. For this reason, we are always on a time crunch, and are never expected to perform well. However, this year went a lot better than we expected it to. We got 1st place at Districts, and then went on to get 3rd at the State Level!
