Robotics News.......February 25: 1 Week Left Until the Denver Competition

Our design is AWESOME!  Our new platform has extreme maneuverability, fast baton removal and deposition abilities, and will be able to drive over ANYTHING!!!!   We have worked long hours and are ready for worldwide (or at least statewide) domination in Denver in the FIRST Tech Challenge on March 5th.  We have a few bugs to work out but we will be ready!!   With any luck our optical sensors and motor encoders will allow our bot to function on its own (autonomously) for the first 30 seconds - and actually score on its own this time.   We have learned much in the past few months both in competition and through trial and error and we are really excited to see our design perform!
