FIRST Robotics Competition

Game

In 2007, the game was Rack 'n' Roll.

Robots

This year's robot was Thunderhorse. It was one of the two robots built in the beginning of the season, but by the early weeks Thunderhorse was the that was chosen to be continued to work on. In the beginning, it was created by Keefer Dunn and Patrick Harrington. Our highly effective manipulator and our secret, unobtainium, seem to make this robot very effective overall.

The team also attempted to build another robot, named the Nimble Gimbal, but due to complexities and many unknowns that robot puttered out of steam.

Regionals

In 2007, we only attended the Peachtree Regional.

Peachtree Regional

At the Peachtree Regional the Robolions were one of the first teams to score all the way around the game scoring element ending a match with a total of 256 points (the highest score of the event). The team made it all the way to the semi-finals, but due to our opponents’ defensive tactics, our alliance lost.
