Bagged and Tagged!

The FRC official bag and tag day is Tuesday, February 19th. The students and mentors (especially our dedicated engineering mentor Neil Palachuk) have spent many long hours in the shop each weeknight, hoping to get the robot done by Friday the 15th. We needed more time, though, so many team members came in for about 8 hours on Sunday. Because we are a rookie team we decided to keep our design simple, focusing on the frisbee shooter, but we had a last minute inspiration and added a modification to lift the robot to the first rung of the pyramid. (For more about our challenge, please see the game video animation Ultimate Ascent.)

Our robot is highly maneuverable:
