Re: Before Robotics.....

Really cool stuff. I wish we could do the big cars, insurance is tough enough for what we are involved in. We also do an electrathon style program called NECA (National Electric Cart Association) here in Michigan. On the webpage, our car is the one front right. It's a really fun program where students from Coopersville High School run the whole thing.

Same basic thing as Electrathon, only we run a 3/8 or 1/2 mile oval track at 30-50 mph in a one hour endurance race.

We do this as a fall warm up for FRC to get kids into the mindset of creating something from nothing that has to perform reliably and safely. Last year we were in a crash and our car wasn't able to be saved, so we are starting with a brand new chassis and drive system to run in May.
