Once upon a time in the Bird Kingdom, a group of angryneers at Marianopolis banded together to form the Mari Angryneers…
They've come a long way and now, they're gearing up for the CRC's 2024 Kryptik Angryneering Competition.
This priceless artifact contains the official 2023-2024 Mari Angryneer Archives, so cherish this journal and protect it, Angryneer!

Our struggles
The robot angryneers encountered a series of challenges as they prepared the robot for the Kryptik game. Head over to the Robot page to read all about it!
Coming up with a proper kiosk design was not our easiest job. We often struggled to follow a structured plan and usually just went with the flow. But in the end, the kiosk turned out very nicely!
To fix our scheduling problem, we decided to not focus on big overwhelming tasks but instead smaller ones to help us accomplish everything. This allowed us to work efficiently and get our tasks done without being too stressed about following a strict plan.

We welcomed several web development beginners this year, so we struggled to ensure everyone learned the necessary technologies to develop our website. However, thanks to guidance from our most experienced web developers, the website angryneers had lots of fun creating this final product.
Equipment for the video took a frustratingly long time to arrive, and once we received everything, the weather was too uninviting to film long scenes outside! Our video angryneers remained patient and planned meticulously in the meantime, so when the wait was over the filming and editing process went smoothly.
Our programmers had to balance solving the preliminary problems before the deadlines, helping other Mari Angryneers with their tasks, and of course, managing their school workload! This was far from easy, but with effective communication and collaboration, our programming angryneers stepped up to the challenge and overcame this hurdle.

Robot
Nov 13, 2023: Kickoff!
Angryneers from all over the Bird Kingdom gather at Curé-Antoine-Labelle high school, the site of the infamous angryneering competition held annually by the CRC, for the Kryptik 2024 kickoff!
Nov 30, 2023
The Mari Angryneers discuss the different intake mechanisms to pick up the game pieces from the ground, and split into small teams to each work on intake prototypes and on base.
5
Dec 7, 2023
The robot angryneers settle on the dimensions of the base and wheelbase to optimise movement (especially while climbing the 12 degree slope toward the gutters) and start building the base.
Jan 10, 2024
The robot angryneers begin testing intake and double flywheel launching mechanisms with some promising results!
6
Jan 11, 2024
The robot angryneers complete the base frame and mecanum wheelbase alignment. They build a ramp and test the robot's ramp-climbing abilities. Success!
Jan 18, 2024
The robot angryneers finalise the circuit board with some (not-so) innovative soldering techniques.
7
Feb 6, 2024
A makeshift toboggan is assembled onto the robot for testing.
Feb 20, 2024
The robot angryneers build a shooting tower to test out the improved double flywheel system with new gearbox ratios. Success!
8
Mar 7, 2024
After a long week of hard work, the robot angryneers have completed the toboggan, multiplier and intake systems to test a fully functional robot!

Kiosk
Nov 30, 2023
The kiosk angryneers begin finalizing colours and props to replicate the King Pig's castle for the annual Kryptik competition!
Dec 28, 2023
The walls of the castle replica are now set up and ready to be painted.
10
Jan 8, 2024
The Mari Angryneers have their first in-person meeting of the new year. The kiosk angryneers apply primer to the walls to begin painting.
Jan 9, 2024
As some of the angryneers finish setting up the outer stone walls of the castle, others continue painting the interior walls green to resemble the original King Pig's castle.
11
Jan 12, 2024
Windows were installed to perfectly replicate the King Pig's castle and to enjoy the beautiful view of the birds' island
Jan 18, 2024
A custom green couch is created from green fabric and wooden frames to represent the King Pig.
12
Feb 8, 2024
Velvet purple banners with a gold border are made and ready to be displayed on the castle's stone walls.
Feb 13, 2024
Several Mari Angryneers work together to paint a stunning sky gradient on the walls outside of the castle.
13
Feb 22, 2024
The kiosk angryneers have found a better way to create a stone wall: they will carve foam boards and paint them grey.
Mar 4, 2024
Wooden beams are spray-painted gold for a more majestic look and installed around the interior of the castle. The King Pig's castle is coming together nicely!
14
Mar 6, 2024
The kiosk angryneers make plushies out of quilting fabric and Polyfill stuffing for three Mari Angryneers: Red, Chuck, and Black. Soon, they'll be able to invite the rest of the team to join them inside!
15
Website
Nov 30, 2023
The website angryneers begin discussing the content and structure of their 2024 Kryptik website, and decide to use Svelte and Bootstrap to develop the site this year!
Dec 29, 2023
The website angryneers meet online to start designing layouts and interactive components such as 3D models and scroll animations.
16
Jan 3, 2024
Now that website design and ideas have been finalized, the website Mari Angryneers begin delegating tasks to work more efficiently.
Jan 8, 2024
The website team moves swiftly in their work and finishes coding some reusable components and pages.
17
Jan 10, 2024
Ming (aka. Silver) works tirelessly to code an awesome 3D Kryptik simulation!
Feb 6, 2024
Some pages of the website now have an initial version completed! The website angryneers continue to design and code the remaining pages, while debugging and improving the completed ones.
18
Mar 7, 2024
The website angryneers have programmed all the pages, and only a few tasks are left: website content, improvements, and careful proofreading.
Mar 8, 2024
The website angryneers jot down their final updates on the team and present the website to finalize its features as the submission deadline approaches fast. Individual photos of the Mari Angryneers (not in bird form) are also taken and uploaded to the website!

Video
Nov 30, 2023
The video angryneers confirm that they will make a video tribute to the brave angryneers who fought and won against the King Pig and his allies. The video will be played for all to see at the 2024 Kryptik Angryneering competition to make for an even more festive and exciting celebration!
Jan 8, 2024
