Team 399 Eagle Robotics from Lancaster, CA is proud to present our entry into the 2013 FRC Game, ENIAC. ENIAC is ties into our theme of Great American innovators and inventors. It pays homage to the ENIAC computer instrumental in the United States' effort in World War 2 and other American made innovations.
ENIAC is the fruition of many months of preparation and training leading up to the most challenging 6 weeks of build season Team 399 has ever seen. It also represents many new-found skills, sponsor resources and services, and connections developed by our students.

Our 2013 creation is a throwback to our past two robots(arguably our most successful), X-1 and James Bot, with various design elements from both worked in.
