Robots in hometown parades

Winning is important. Learning is important. Inspiring students is important. Teaching Students is important. Figuring out how to do all of these at the same time, in my opinion, is the meaning of FIRST. - Justin Montois [more]

Re: Robots in hometown parades

2614 runs in 3 or 4 parades a year.
We modified our 2009 bot to dump candy, and it is controlled by a driver on foot with a backpack carrying the 2009 control system.
Up to three more bots are controlled out of the back of a leading truck that also carries candy refills and batteries. In a dead robot situation, we can load it up into the truck.
Tomorrow, we'll be running 4 robots.
