10.13.11 | New Website
The old website we had lasted 6 months and was never entered into the website contest. It was a significant improvement from the other website we had but it just wasn't enough. We created a new better looking website with so many new features, you'd be stunned. It has all new style, javascript animations, comment boxes, animated photo album and video gallery, and much, much more. It can load in almost every device, even if it's outdated 10 years. Hope you enjoy this new look! For a full list of details about our website click here. Comment below and tell me what you think about it.

10.29.11 | Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
On the 29th of October, we attended the 2011 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus in Webster held by Penfield Robotics. Here, we had the chance to use our previous robots to compete in the game Logomotion, one more time. 24 teams from all around the state, and with some outside the state, competed in the event. We advanced through the Qualification Matches with many errors and problems with our robot. We ended up being 9th place out of 24. We advanced to 6th place as the other teams chose their alliances for the Quarter-Finals. We created an alliance with Team 378, and Team 3173. We ended up facing the strongest alliance and ended up losing all of our matches. We were eliminated in the Quarter Finals. However, we enjoyed driving our robot one last time and we won the award "Restless Spirits- The team that best exemplifies the spirit of FIRST." thanks to many of us who screamed our lungs out! We had fun and it was a fun year. Can't wait for next year!

10.29.11 | Logomotion Robot Retired
The Rah Cha Cha Ruckus was the last event this old robot played. Our robot from last year designed to compete in the Logomotion event in 2011, is now officially in retirement. We currently don't know what will happen to it, but most likely, it will be scrapped for parts. It was a good season, even though the robot itself suffered from many, technical issues.
