Progress, it's our middle name.




Currently,

members of 1457 are assembling the chasey, while everyone else is figuring out what else has to be done and what the robot will actually do, and how. We just got done reading the updates from the FRC website.
Yesterday, the new desgin for the sweatshirts came out, although, the design still has some minor changes. Also, we built the chasey and then took it apart to learn where all the parts go and marking each peice to where it should go. Basically, little progress goes a long way, well hopefully anyway.

FRC

Kick off tomorrow.

Hope it isn't too cold.

Success

One of TRONN's team members, Alex V., might have figured out what our robots have to do and how the hints relate to our objective.
I was on facebook, and I get this message from Alex, and everything he said made perfect sense.

"... lady in the pic i believe that she is named Wilma Rudolph look her up cause to me its the same person and she is holding a pillar which is in Rome and Greece and those both have had the Olympics and the Rome Olympics was in 1960 so that was when black and white pic were used.. then i looked to see if she was an Olympiad she was... she was a track runner who did team relay with a baton, and FIRST wanted to incorporate more teamwork so i think it is a competition to have robots compete in team relay races that is my conclusion cause the first robotics symbol means a robot and the lady was a runner so that's what i think is going to happen... however i still may be wrong cause i don't have the answer so I thought it was cool." -Alex [01.06.2011 11:50pm]


Good Job Alex. (:

Guess what!

The lady in the picture is Little Eva. Famous for her song, "Locomotion." and other songs. A robotics team member, searched her songs, and Locomotion was the song most relatable to the competition.

All we need to do now is put all the pieces together.

The clues

The clues....are very tricky.

I've spent about what seems like forever trying to figure them out and still nothing.
Today in Robotics, some members of the team tried figuring it out, and I must say we came up with clever possibilities.

Hopefully we find out before Kickoff.
Who's ready for kickoff?

It's in about four days.!

I know TRONN is excited. (:
