Intuitive Surgical RoboNanza

A group from our team went to Intuitive Surgical down in Sunnyvale for their RoboNanza. We were expecting a 2015 Recycle Rush field, but IS jazzed up the goals of the game by putting in obstacles...and using tables as protection instead of 10 ft tall plastic. We only had one person from this past season's drive team that went, who was our co-driver, Fish. He decided that since this wasn't an actual competition and really just an "exhibition," anyone could drive the robot. We had 4 different drivers and 3 different co-drivers. We all got a feel of driving the robot in some way.
