Most teams aim to win and be competitive. Team 190 puts innovation and inspiration as our highest goal - above being competitive.
As such, this past season has been anything but a "downer".
If you ever get a chance, check out 190's 2008 robot up close. Look at the infinite-turn, custom-designed slip ring, for powering three motors on the elevator. (As far as we have been able to research, there has never been an infinite-turn turret in FIRST with powered motors and sensors on the turret). Look at the minimalist sucker for picking up the trackball. Look at the "rPOD", a secondary drivetrain which allowed the robot to drive sideways.
Talk to the students on the team; they can happily explain to you everything about their robot.
Then go back and study more of Team 190's robots from season's past, and the awards we've won. Our record perfectly reflects back on our main goals; our technical and inspiration awards far outnumber our robot performance awards.
