First Robots

2008 Competition Announced!

In this year’s game FIRST Overdrive, students’ robots are designed to race around a track knocking down 40" inflated Trackballs and moving them around the track, passing them either over or under a 6'6" overpass. Extra points are scored by robots positioning the Trackballs back on the overpass before the end of the 2 minute and 15 second match.

2007 Competition

In the 2207 game Rack ‘N’ Roll, students’ robots are designed to hang inflated colored tubes on pegs configured in rows and columns on a 10-foot high center “rack” structure. Extra points are scored by robots being in their home zone and lifted more than 4” off the floor by another robot before the end of the 2 minute and 15 second match.

Team Blitz and their robot Fritz placed 6th in the standings and made it into the finals at the Rocky Mountain Regional competition. Although the team lost in the the final round, Team Blitz won the Colorado Regional Rookie All Star award.
