Designing This Years Bot

Kickoff is quick approaching, and for those who don't remember last year's fun at Championships, I can condense it in to a phrase that all First teams should follow.
Read the rules
Re-Read the rules
Re-Read the rules that you Re-Read
oh
and make your design smaller than the allowed length and width because you never know what reinforced bolt head you will have to file down :D


Throw Back Thursday (Saturday)

I think it is important to remember the people who helped us achieve such great heights and establish ourselves as a team in our community and in the FIRST super-sphere. Here is a blast from the past!

Movie Night Fundraiser

Robotics can be a tough game, but with a team like this, you can be sure we won't be swept under the carpet. We will be sitting on the carpet, building robots. Thank You so much for your continued support in our second year as a team!

We clean up nice huh

Our room with our old awards and old spoils of war.

Bandsaw and Drillpress and Cleaning... Oh My!

We have been transforming our new build space over the last week or so, organizing our tools, moving desks and chairs, opening packages, and cleaning. The room is coming along and so is our team. Our tools arrived and so did our brand spanking new and FABULOUS red craftsman shelf. The Bandsaw and Drillpress that we ordered came last week but we were so busy had not gotten around to build them. The drill press was an easy build, but the bandsaw took more time, and with slightly worse instructions. Now with our two main tools assembled and ready to use, we can start working on building carts, shelves, and tables.

Another week in the life of an intercity FIRST Team...
