FIRST Team 604 finished the first segment of our build season today. With a deadline to meet, we rushed to finish our 2011 robot. When we were putting on the finishing touches, the local camera crew from NBC 11 arrived. We aired on the 6 o’clock news, and the footage can be viewed here. Leland Robotics would like to thank all of the parents, sponsors, teachers, mentors, and the community which made our build season and robot possible. Pictures from this season can be found on our website here. You can see us at the Sacramento Regional at UC Davis (Mar. 17-19) and the Silicon Valley Regional at San Jose State (Mar. 31-Apr. 2). Our goal is to qualify for the FIRST Championship in St. Louis (Apr. 27-30).
Hope to see you at competition!

The time has finally come. Week 6 has arrived. Our chassis has been completed and operational. The arm is currently in it’s final fabrication stage and will hopefully be completed before robot lock-up. With programmers fiercely working on the robot, FIRST Team 604 is gearing up for the final push.

It has been a long five weeks since the 2011 FRC challenge was released. Since then, FIRST Team 604 has been working hard on designing, refining, and now machining and assembling our robot. We have posted a few pictures of the past two weeks below.

It’s been two weeks since the beginning of the 2011 FRC Season. For the past week, FIRST Team 604 has been prototyping manipulator designs, working hard on refining and perfecting our design. Photos from this week have been posted below.

Its officially been one week since the start of the 2011 FRC season. Over the past seven days, FIRST Team 604 has been hard at work designing and prototyping various robot designs. Some photos from this week have been posted below.

Building the Grid
Scoring a Vertical Logo!
Yesterday, FIRST released the 2011 game, LogoMotion!
Robots manipulate inner tubes shaped as triangles, circles, and squares — the elements of the FIRST logo — to hang them on a grid. It is played on a flat 27′ x 54′ carpeted field by two alliances of three teams each. Each 2 minute and 15 second match begins with a 15 second Autonomous period where robots hang ‘Ubertubes’ on the grid to score extra points. Any piece scored on a peg with an Ubertube receives double points, and a row with a complete FIRST logo earns an additional doubling of points. During the final ten seconds robots can deploy a ‘minibot’ which is created out of the FTC kit of parts or similar items to race to the top of four individual poles to earn 30 points for the first one up, 20 for the second, 15 for third, and 10 for fourth.
