FIRST Robotics Competition

Game

The game in 2008 was Overdrive.

Robots

Using a combination of beef and brute, the Robolions came up with Longshot for their robot. Inspired off of innovation, the robot successfully impressed Sir Charles on multiple occasions. Using surgical tubing and a few other mechanical devices, Longshot launched the large game balls 6-8 feet into the air, clearly clearing the overpass game element and thus scoring multiple points.

Regionals

In 2008, the Robolions attended two regionals: Peachtree Regional and Palmetto Regional. We also paid our way into Championships.

Peachtree Regional

At the Peachtree Regional we impressed Sir Charles. Again.

Palmetto Regional

This was the first year we attended the Palmetto Regional.

Championships

Awards

  • Xerox Creativity Award at the Peachtree Regional

FIRST Technical Challenge

This was the first year we participated in the FIRST Technical Challenge.

Overview

The robot built by the team could effectively score in the three point range. In the Georgia FTC Tournament, they ranked 13th overall, but were picked up quickly by the 8th seeded alliance. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in the semi-finals.

Game

This year's game was Quad Quandary in which teams had to pick up PVC rings and score them onto goals for either three or five points. Teams could score bonus points by making sure that goals were in their alliance's zone at the end of the match.
