It was a bittersweet win, yea we won something but we were really hoping for first but in the spirit of Gracious Professionalism we congratulate the winning alliance (1155, 1902, 126) Congrats guys! We would also like to give a big thanks to our #1 Asset Jovon Outlaw our driver!

We are proud to report that we The Technobots came in as Regional Finalists #3! We would like to thank our brilliant and talented mentors Ed and Jeff (Go Shasho *insider*). The New York City Regional at The Jacob Javits was so much fun being able to form alliances and help out other people! 3 Days of McDonalds, Starbucks, Pizza, the Crowd, The Enthusiasm and The Thrill and Drive to Win kept us going to be able to get where we are today! Thanks once again to our mentors but a super special thanks to Jazmin our captain, Mr. Bellis our supervisor and our Principal Mr. Abramowitz because without you guys none of this would be possible!<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Off to Conneticut we go!.....Hopefully to do the same!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Congrats to all the other teams!

Our Robot will literally weigh and move as if it were on the surface of the moon!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">(<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Source</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">: US First Website</span>)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">LUNACY is played on a 54' x 27' low <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">friction field. Robots are equipped with <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">slippery wheels and payload trailers. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">LUNACYgame pieces are “Orbit Balls” <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">designated as Moon Rocks, Empty Cells, <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">or Super Cells. Two three-team robot <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">alliances collect and score Orbit Balls in <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">trailers attached to the opposing teams’ <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">robots. Human players are positioned <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">around the perimeter of the arena and <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">can score from their stations. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Robots are autonomous during the <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">first 15 seconds of play, and teleoperated <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">for the remaining 2 minutes. Trailers begin <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">each match empty, and robots may be <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">loaded with up to 7 Moon Rocks by their <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">team prior to the start of the match. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Human players are equipped with 20 <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Moon Rocks, less the number they load <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">into their robot, and a quantity of Empty <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cells and Super Cells determined by the <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">outcome of their previous match. If a <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">team has not yet played a match, the <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">human player receives 4 Empty Cells <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">and 2 Super Cells. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Moon Rocks and Empty Cells scored <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">in an opponent’s trailer, at any time and by <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">any player, are worth 2 points. Super Cells <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">scored in an opponent’s trailer are worth <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">15 points. Super Cells must be “activated” <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">before they can be played. Activation <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">occurs when a robot delivers an Empty <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cell from their Outpost to their Fueling <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Station. Empty Cells can be delivered <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">throughout the match. Super Cells may <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">only be played during the last 20 seconds <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">of a match. </div>The Technobotshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12738828536390014721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049402352471498868.post-56140078277222439182007-01-11T15:55:00.000-05:002009-01-27T13:05:07.400-05:00The HSCT Technobots!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsFIH5-mjLCSns827RPDdR-x-9Y3oBV3uxCdFf7ZihlUcmlzaNZVlSvlWfLunApqiSFR4Txxu9hS2hXY2evFJ9v9bZkXTXyK6Hc3abhyphenhyphenFaUN7rE4jsHi_aGkaLgJC7TNWFxuirN17bDM/s1600-h/gse_multipart22045.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsFIH5-mjLCSns827RPDdR-x-9Y3oBV3uxCdFf7ZihlUcmlzaNZVlSvlWfLunApqiSFR4Txxu9hS2hXY2evFJ9v9bZkXTXyK6Hc3abhyphenhyphenFaUN7rE4jsHi_aGkaLgJC7TNWFxuirN17bDM/s320/gse_multipart22045.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153217938783390306" /></a><br /><br /><div>This is the new blog for the FIRST Robotics 2008-2009 competition team The HSCT Technobots team 743.</div>The Technobotshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12738828536390014721noreply@blogger.com0
