"Spare Parts" in theaters nationwide Jan. 16!

[Frank Neuperger]

Team 0x27 is best described as a community robotics team.

All but one student that helped with the build were alumni of FRC 39 or the current FTC 4314 team. Several have helped with FRC 842 as well.

Team 0x27 was created in 2008 to compete in NURC in the summer. There was a Team 39 policy at the time that did not allow us to use any connection to that team number or name for summer activity. So the programmers among you will understand why we picked the name Team 0x27.

A bit over half of the students that helped with the 5 week design/build for the film ROV are studying engineering at ASU or ASU/Polytech. 4 have have now graduated.. One is still in high school and will attend ASU next year.

Team Ox27 competed with great success in 2008, 2009 and 2010 NURC with ROV builds in ridiculously short periods of time. In 2012 they crushed the Sparkfun AVC event record. There are a number of 0x27 videos on YouTube.

We will post a summary of the design build process for the Cornell ROV for the film as well as a few pictures during fabrication.
