Overview
Our second run at URC was a huge leap from the last year. Phoenix was able to secure a close second place finish at competition thanks to our members’ innovation across the board, from a wholly redesigned frame to the introduction of the Rover Engagement Display software for BaseStation.
Key Achievements
- Introduction of the Rover Engagement Display (RED) as the BaseStation
- First rover capable of charging without removing the battery
- Had six horsepower making it our first rover with more than one horsepower
