In 2009, the Robolions participated in both FRC and FTC.

Robolions at Championships hosted at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta

Underdrive

For the fall season, instead of playing a normal VEX competition to teach the new members, Randy Havner thought it would be fun to build a one-third scale version of the FRC game and play that instead.

FIRST Robotics Competition

Game

This year's FRC game was Lunacy.

Robots

This year the Robolions built two robots throughout the season. One design was dubbed "Clean Sweep" and the other the "Logan Rover". Both were brought to scrimmage upon where it was decided that the Logan Rover would be the final choice for our team to ship and use at regionals.

Regionals

The Robolions attended both the Peachtree Regional and the Palmetto Regional. Championships was also attended as we paid our way in. We also attended the G.R.I.T.S. off-season regional at Warner-Robbins.

For exact match results, check The Blue Alliance records.

Peachtree Regional

At the Peachtree Regional, we got to the semi-finals.

Palmetto Regional

At the Palmetto Regional, the Robolions overall did not have a very high rank due to just being selected to play with not-so-well robots. However, this did not deter the Robolions as the team was chosen by The Forsyth Alliance. The alliance of the Robolions, the Forsyth Alliance, and some other team made it as far as the semi-finals almost winning and making it to the finals until one member of the Forsyth Alliance accidently stepped forward during autonomous. This caused the alliance to be disqualified from the match and to lose the last chance to get to the finals.

Social

For the Peachtree Regional social, the team hosted their own social at Jarrod Leddy's house. There the team played XBox 360 in a movie room while enjoying ping pong, Rock Band, and card games. The day was also Daniel Peterson's birthday.

Championships

G.R.I.T.S.

At the off season regional G.R.I.T.S., we fought on in the first annual competition eventually winning the regional.

Awards

In 2009, we won no awards at any regionals.

FIRST Technical Challenge

Overview

The team built a robot named "Optimus Prime" that could score in the five point goals as well as get theirselves on and off the field.

They attended the Georgia FTC Tournament where they were alliance captains of the 7th seeded alliance, but we're eliminated in the Semi-Finals.

Members

Game

The FTC game was called Face Off in which robots scored hockey pucks from racks on the side of the field to goals worth either three or five points. Teams could get additional points for getting their robot outside the field.
