Kids Integrating Newly Grasped Technological and
engineeringConcepts |
Every year we -like all other FIRST teams- are put to the test of building a robot that can perform certain challenges. With a new game each year, we must always design new robots with new capabilities that are different from the previous year. In our first year (2007), the competition was called "Rack and Roll". Our robot's design was to prevent the other team from scoring, to help our team-mates score, and at the end of a match to elevate either one or both of our teammates off the ground 14 inches to score bonus points.
In our second year, the competition was called "Overdrive". That year, our robot was able to lift a 40 inch diameter track ball off the ground to hurtle it over an overpass, or place it on top of an overpass,at the end of a match for extra points.
In our third year, the competition was called "Lunacy". We designed a robot that could shoot "Moon Rocks" into other robots' trailers, as well as dump them in the trailers. The Moon Rocks are fed from the ground, up through a conveyor belt system to the shooter.
-Awards-
In 2007 we won first place at the Milwaukee Regional Competition. That took us to the Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia, which was held in the Georgia Dome.As a rookie team, we were very honored to be able to compete at such a high level.
For our second year, we went to the 2008 Milwaukee Regional tournament and took Second Place at the competition. We were rewarded
by bringing home a second place trophy.
In 2009, our third year, we won the prestigious Chairman's Award and headed off to Nationals,
once again, in Atlanta, Georgia.
kept it going throughout the years.
