Mobile

We are mobile!  Our last bit of time will be spent on our arm.  If we have to we will ship it in pieces to the event and finish it there.  We have mounted the IR component and programmed it to use our Demo TV remote.  Wish us luck everyone.  We wish all the best for every team participating in this year's event in Philly.  Go FIRST Teams!

Down to the WIRE

It's down to the wire, it looks like a robot and is behaving "like" a robot.  To many bugs and not enough bug spray.  Still it will ship out on the 19th all the same.

Real Deal

The "Real Deal" is under construction.  By having our template built we were able to snap off copies of the frame and put it together in one meeting!   Programming on the prototype will begin at our next meeting.  The drive train for the competition bot will be installed as well.
