The 2012 FIRST^® Season Begins
Saturday, January 7, 2012

Since the game was release on January 7th, the students of Team 88 have been working tirelessly to design and build a robot for competition. The team divided into subgroups to focus on designing specific components for the robot. The base group has built a sturdy base to tackle both the bridge and the bump. The collection group has been focused on prototyping different methods of picking up balls off the group and moving them to the shooter to find the most effective design, and the shooter group has been analyzing different shooting methods and the best way to get a shot into the hoops. The entire team is looking forward to the competition.

Suffield Shakedown
On February 18th, Team 176, Aces High, will be hosting their 11th annual Suffield Shakedown week zero competition. The competition is designed to help teams debug and test their robots, operate on a competition field and play the game for the first time. Team 88 has competed in Suffield Shakedown for many years, and we're looking forward to playing the game with other robots for the first time before Stop Build Day again this year.
