Pulse was a culture reset year: we standardized naming conventions, introduced digital work orders for pit tasks, and expanded scouting tablets to include automated alliance color assignments. The robot itself focused on clean note paths with minimal maintenance—something mentors and students could service quickly between playoff matches.
Although we didn’t take home a blue banner, the judges recognized our creativity in note handling and the spirit our students bring to every match. Pulse’s component library forms the baseline for several REBUILT prototypes.
