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.

3-4-11

Last night, we continued working on the second robot.

Nigel is seen here working on the pneumatics holding board/mini-bot deployment base.
Nick is measuring pieces to be cut that will be used to raise the mini-bot deployer 3" to utilize the maximum amount of space available for deployment.

Here, Nick is threading cables up the side of the forklift to attach to the claw.

We still have many tasks to complete in order to accomplish the main goal: get the second robot running.

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.
