We are a group of passionate, innovative, and most importantly, persistent, students.
We have been together since 2017, and during this time, we’ve had our share of great successes - and of course great failures as well! When we started we didn’t even know the difference between ratchets and rivets or drive trains and drill bits!
But we hurdled over or blasted through every obstacle that came our way and kept right on building and competing, each year moving up in ranking in our annual competition.
We’re ready once again to put what we’ve learned to use this year as we dive in and construct a brand new robot for this year’s competition, where students from all over the country will flock to Anderson, SC, for a day of intense robot rivalry - and revelry!
Now it’s certainly taken us a bit to get to where we even have a working robot to bring around. We are now in our fifth year of robot creation and competition. In this time, we have evolved from a team that used rope and duct tape to patch together a robot that, on a good day, might turn in a circle, to a team that can design and construct a robot that can shoot basketballs and do pull-ups! And this from a team that, in our beginnings, had not one student thinking about a future in engineering. That’s certainly not the case anymore!
We have been steadily rising through the ranks of the Palmetto Regional, an annual tournament that brings sixty-four teams together from all over the world to compete for three days. We moved from 44th to a near top ten ranking of 11th!
So excited for Year Five!
