Well I know most of you will just disregard this, but I quite frankly don’t care. For those of you who are reading this, have you ever heard of the FRC? Also known as the FIRST Robotics Competition or to expand all the acronyms the For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology Robotics Competition. (For those who do not know FIRST was founded by Dean Kamen because he was tired of the jocks getting all the scholarships and so made FIRST of those who use their brains for more then figuring out how to put a helmet on.) Any way made it to semi-finals and had there been an award for the most over engineered, over powered robot my team would have won it.
After all a hundred-pound bot, with tank treads powered by six motors all geared to together producing a combined three-horse power between the two treads. The thing is capable of climbing a sixty-percent grade and moving at fourteen feet a second. On top of all that it has enough torque and traction to tough another robot in dead weight behind it, pound for pound it has more power then an average car.
To top it all off I won a VEX kit make my own robot whenever I want, make it do what ever I want, and don’t have to pay five hundred dollars for a kit. Of course the robot we actually make is far more complex and requires industrial fabricating equipment to make the parts, good thing we made our own routing table. Unfortunately senesce Thursday I have been running on less then three hours of sleep a night, THANK GOD FOR INSOMIA.
