Re: Agawam HS (839) and PotHole Detector Robot
Thanks for the kudos. We did mention the FIRST program to the reporter, but I guess it did not make th final cut.
On the tech side, yes all the motors, pneumatics, control, spikes, victors, etc are left over kit parts. The entire system, from paper idea to final working protoype is a product of the students. They do 100% of the work, with guidance only from the mentors.
The real thanks goes out to the Lemelson/MIT InvenTeam program. http://web.mit.edu/invent/index.html I highly recommend the program to any FIRST school interested in doing something really challenging and fun. The folks at MIT are GREAT!!!! And to Geophysical Survey Systems from N. Salem NH for their ground penetrating radar system. (That part was a little out of our technical reach!)
For more info PM me...........
