32 Days left! Pressure is on

We are 2 weeks through our 6 week build season. We have fund-raised $10,500 dollars and are estimating the season to cost $12,000.

We have spent our time brainstorming, designing, testing components, and programming. So far we have 2 joysticks that can wirelessly control motors through a Wifi connection and an enormous desire to build an epic robot.

We are taking our CAD drawings over to our sponsor the Mag Lab this weekend to begin fabrication of our chassis and arm. We are hoping by the end of the week to have a platform that we can practice driving and begin understanding the interactions with forces and momentum.

Thanks to our major sponsors: JCPenney, Mag Lag, SAIL HS, and Leon County Schools and all the mentors, parents, staff, and of course the students that actually make things happen.
