Re: Robot in 3 Days 2017

I will echo these sentiments. The GreenHorns' robot had a number of good concepts going on, but if you copied it verbatim, you would do poorly. I spoke with many teams at champs that were inspired by...

Re: Is the international branching of FRC, a good thing?

I would love to live in a world that celebrates STEM as much as we celebrate athletics, which is what FIRST helps to do in every country it spreads to.

I completely understand your perspective in...

Re: I want to be an FTA

Can confirm, this is Bison Robotics' group picture at the DECC last year. I'm the tall ginger in the back :D

Re: I want to be an FTA

The first step I would take is to contact your local Volunteer Coordinator. Let them know of your interest and they can tell you how to proceed.

Re: Robot in 3 Days 2017

This was also attempted in 2015 (albeit on a far smaller scale). 'Snow Problem (from the University of Minnesota) and The GreenHorns (from NDSU) met at 4607's high school to do a demonstration of...

Re: Robot in 3 Days 2017

The GreenHorns have actually done this the past two years. We've worked with 4607 to bring our Ri3D robot to a pre-rookie team. The pre-rookie team works with 4607 to build bumpers for the robot...

Re: Robot in 3 Days 2017

I'm so pumped for Ri3D this year! It'll be my third year participating, and it's by far the most fun thing I've done in college. The past two years I've been the captain of The GreenHorns and this...

Re: pic: FRC 2869 - 2016 Offseason bot

Re: Senior Design Projects

Very cool design! Bison Robotics is actually competing in the NASA Robotics Mining Competition already. I would agree that it's a great next-level competition from FRC. As per Bison Robotics' policy,...

Re: 4607 Butterslide Drivetrain V2
