Hey guess what

We made a robotics blog, FINALLY.


Dawn and Alex are working on sponsorship packets, Travis and Ricardo are watching Robotics videos, and everyone else are researching past events.


Mr. Idil is asking for emails from people who want to help with the blog.


And that's what's happening right now.

TEAM# 1457 -TRONN

Hi Folks,
Team#1457 is back with a new Name: TRONN (Team Robotics of Northern Nevada).

Last year, it was kind of a wrap-up season for us. It was not easy to get the team together after a year of Break. But Thanks God, we made it. We rebuild our team, redesigned our robot, and did pretty well in Las Vegas Championship.

This year we started working early. Fundraising is one of our biggest challenge now. But we are excited to have a team and are looking forward to 2011 Championship.

John: So now we had the robot running through the system, wireless and all. We have just mounted the kicker. Made some minor adjustments to it and almost didn't work. We have Reno Robotics coming on 2/19, thats tomorrow, along with KNPB channel 5. Its going to be exciting and yet we are way behind. We need more supporters to see us through. And the mentors, may I add, have done a well job. Although, sometimes I wish we could just stick to what we are supposed to be doing and not screw around as much.

Robot Tracks and Catches Thrown Object – TOTO

By Dan on October 13, 2009

TOTO, “Tracking of Thrown Objects” is a robot which tracks and catches objects thrown at it. Developed by Dennis Barteit, the robot uses cameras to lock on to the incoming projectile and catch it.
The goal? To speed up robotic automation by throwing and catching needed parts and objects. This “transportation by throwing” is a two part problem in that it requires both aimed throwing and active catching.
