The robot, named "Lefty Circuits", threw the pitch and then drove off the field. We had great news coverage and a good crowd at the event, so hopefully a lot more peole now know about FIRST in central Indiana.

We are trying to get some good video from the news stations and will get some photos linked soon.

We went to the pitching game at the ball park and the robot pitch was clocked about 76 MPH at full speed.
