Ship Day 2009!

Whew! Where has the 6 week build season gone? The TechTigers are taking the day off, then its on to working on the practice robot before competition on March 12. For those of you who didn't know, this year the TechTigers teamed up with teams 1902 [Exploding Bacon] and 408 [RoboTicks], collaborating on the design and building triplets for this year's competition season. Photos of the build season can be found on 1902's website. Stay tuned for more news in the coming weeks!

Kickoff 2009

This year's FIRST Game is called Lunacy. It involves a unique playing surface and required wheels that when combined simulate the experience of controlling a robot on the moon with a very low coefficient of friction and weight being nullified with the low gravity. The game animation played at kickoff can be found here. Be sure to check back throughout the season for updates from the TechTigers!
