2018 Oakland County Competitive
Robotics Association schedule/results

 

The Oakland County Competitive Robotics Association (OCCRA) is a county-wide association of students, teachers and volunteers providing opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines for students in grades 6-12. Each year, school-based teams of students and mentors participate in a competitive robotics season of tournaments, challenged to display their technical and collaboration skills through intense and fast-paced gameplay.

This year’s OCCRA game is called Over n’ Out. It is played on a 24-by-30-foot field. Two alliances of two drive teams with robots face off in tournament matches. A match lasts 120 seconds, during which drivers control the robots trying to score points by putting balls in a low or high goal.
