Sponsors





Special thank you to our Sponsors.

A Big Thank You to our Generous Sponsors!

  • Thank you JCPenny for the grant money that helped us pay for the machining and the resources that comprised the robot. Without your generous aid, our team would not have been able to afford the cost of robot building materials.
  • Thank you Tyco for machining all of the unique parts for our robot. With your help, our robot can function wonderfully and easily as it does today.
  • Thank you FAU for allowing us to use your engineering building as a workshop to work on and test our robot. This generous donation provided us with an environment suited for building, programming, and testing our robot.
  • Thank you sponsors JCPenny, Tyco, and FAU for your constant benevolence throughout our rookie FRC season. Your support has been instrumental to developing our great team.

Progress Update Feb. 5, 2011

Hey! Time for my next update. This post will be devoted only to programming.

    So, as you know from our last post, we have connected our robot to our computer in AP mode, still haven't fixed Bridge mode. We have been using the standard remote control template for the videos but are currently working on a custom control system with Java. So far we have made considerable progress, having connected the video camera with a POE setup. if you have any questions about POE E-Mail one of us and we will get back to you as fast as we can. We have also been able to hook up an impressive array of pneumatics and are currently in the midst of programming them.

Keep checking back for more updates from the Boca High Robocats!
If you have any questions make sure to post them or E-Mail us and we will answer what we can

Our friends Children of the swamp :)

We are very gracious to have Children of the Swamp as our good friends.



They have been very helpful to us from the start when they invited us to their workshop to get a sense of what we were getting ourselves into. They've also been very gracious in lending us their Lab View CD when we could got gain access to ours. They were great hosts for the practice event on Saturday February 19th. We're extremely thankful to team 179 for helping us when they donated their spare base kit and window motor. This allowed us to build a second robot because we didn't get enough driving practice with our main robot.



we robocats are thankful to team 179 Swampthing and wish them good luck at the competition.
