The Control Award is a competitive FIRST Tech Challenge award given to the team with the most impressive coding algorithms used on their robot, as determined by a panel of volunteer judges. To apply for the award, teams must document their goals for the robot game's thirty-second 'Autonomous' period, the sensors their robot uses, the key algorithms that drive their robot's function, and any enhancements programmed to assist drivers during the two-minute remote-controlled portion of the game.
As a team member of FTC #3409 Astromechs, I was one of three programmers for the robot and responsible for most documentation written about our code. These applications showcase my ability to translate highly technical information into phraseage anyone can understand, while also providing satisfactory detail for more knowledgeable members of the audience.
