One of the important parts of being in a FIRST Robotics Competition is not the end result but the journey of discovery. To this end we have decided to document the voyage from kick off through competition. Kick Off January 6th 2007, Upper Darby High School, Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. Our FIRST look at this year's challenge Rack' n ' Roll.
We also picked up our Kit' O' Parts, and couldn't wait to get them back to the "Lab". Of course this year's challenge requires the use of the camera and software to compete in the autonomous mode portion of the competition.
We started to break our group into PODS (People On Different Systems), The camera Team and the Frame team are off to good starts.
Our robot is beginning to take shape... A few shots of us working on the bot in the final hours
And our finished bot...we call him PARSIMONY!!
