At the end of day one, the team holds fifth place in a division of sixty-four teams from around the world. There are two divisions and a total of one hundred twenty-eight teams at the championship.
A match consists of a forty second autonomous period followed by a two minute controller driven period. The strength of the Hiller’s robot is their autonomous period programming.
