Robotics. Almost there!

Category: Default Game: Default Posted on Feb 02, 2009 4:27 pm


So we're gonna kick ass this year. We better! We suck! XD

Anywho...I say that because I've been watching youtube videos on other teams and their robots and it seems that pretty much everyone has a shooter and some form of helix or something similar to contain the balls. Our team is simply using a ramp to collect balls from the ground and creating a storage upwards then releasing them back down to store into those corner thingys. Yeah. Thingys.

We actually decided to be on defense this year because the previous years we've tried to be both on the offensive and the defensive and it never worked out too well. So we voted, and what we got was something on top to thwart off other balls from going in the trail. Or so that's what I think. I can't remember. It was discussed in the beginning after the kickoff.

Check out http://www.youtube.com/user/ir5h0rty for our videos on our robot.

So yeah...that's that :)

Well Regionals for us will be in Virginia but Nationals is gonna be down in Atlana. So are you on the robotics team? Because if so I'm surprised. We stayed after school everyday during exams to try and stick with the schedule.
