FTC Team 5257 - Robot in 36 Hours

[ksafin]

Hello all!

We're FTC Team 5257 - this year we won the world championship alongside teams 7013 and 4240.

We've been playing with the idea of doing an FTC "Robot in X Time" ever since Ri3D came out last year, and now that they're doing it we've decided to go for it also.

SO - members of FTC Team 5257 will be working from game release (12 pm Saturday Sept 6) to the end of the weeekend (Midnight, Sunday Sept 7) to build a competitive FTC robot.

This build cycle features ABSOLUTELY ZERO MENTOR INVOLVEMENT as we will experiment and show what just a group of committed and bright students can accomplish in 36 hours.

The World Championship was a great challenge and we've conquered that - so we felt this would be a logical next step. For FTC teams, we also plan to release CAD, information, specs, etc.

You can follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/eaglesrobotics), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/eaglesrobotics) or our website (www.eaglesrobotics.org) to get updates about the event as it approaches, and of course, during the event itself. It'll also be livestreamed and we'll give out information about that as it approaches.

Please help spread the word, as we hope this effort will help FTC teams just like Ri3D helps FRC teams ever year!
