Zion Chapel's robotics team has competed in the Troy BEST Robotics competition for three years ( 2019, 2020, 2022). We have 11 members, of which four are seniors (Austin Sikes, Dylan Baker, Evan Brunson, and Gracie Jinright). In 2019, we came in first place in the BEST competition and advanced to Regionals at Auburn University. This year we went into the semi-finals and place 6th overall and are advancing again. The South BEST competition will be held in Huntsville, Alabama. Our web team has won first place in the Head-to-Head Webpage Design in 2019, 2022 and now in 2024. The critical design won first place this year as well. .
We built our robot to withstand the lunar terrain. He can self-preserve during the lunar night conditions, surface mine, sub-terrain mine, such as core samples, do radio antenna repair, solar panel maintenance (orientation and cleaning), robot battery replenishment and charging, power distribution for the habitat, and habitat construction.
