6 Days till WPI

During the past week the team has done an outstanding job practicing driving at the practice field and working on Autonomous. We're looking like we'll have a 5 ball run, and two more two ball runs! We've also got balancing one robot down to 5 seconds, two robots in 15-20 seconds, and three robots in 20-40 seconds! Here's a video of our first run at the 5 ball auton. Hopefully I'll have more for you tomorrow.

11 Days till WPI

Today a couple of the students met down at the practice field to get some practice in, after a couple hours of driving i'm very happy with the way the robot preformed! We need to keep it in high gear if we want to have a successful competition season, so we're planning on meeting as much as possible to continue all of the hard work! Here is a little video of the practice robot tipping itself back over with the Awesome Bar!
