 This easy world of friends, of people that you can talk to for hours on end without knowing one another? That's FIRST. - Keith Chester [more] |

This is one of the projects I get to work on - SWORDS. It is an absolute dream to be building robots for real! When I applied for this job at Foster-Miller, I told them I had been doing FIRST for about 7 years. The guy interviewing me (now my boss) was very interested in FIRST... now I'm spreading FIRST Fever to Foster-Miller!

Showing off again Jake?
The big question is ... Can you get it to balance two goals on a teeter-totter bridge?

I bet that thing could beat up your Autonomous ATV. Bring it to Drexel next year and let's see.

I plan on applying to Foster-Miller for co-op. It looks like an awesome place to work.

One of our college mentors co-oped there for 6 months and she's going back again. She was directly programing one of the robots that they have. She did a lot of work for them and loved it. I'm thinking about going there for my third co-op. It sounds really cool to work there.

Is that 48's improved-defense 'bot for the Championship?
With those treads they might be finally able to stop 1114.

Re: pic: Foster-Miller SWORDS Robot
Am I seeing this correctly? This is a robot that is designed to kill people? Am I the only one that has a problem with that?
EDIT? I really don't know. Is that black thing on there some sort of gun? Or is it something else, or for some otherpurpose?

well in the wrong hands it would be bad but you know, anything that moves on its own and is armed down to the last bolt is still pretty awesome

Would you feel better about the robot if it had de-mining devices on it instead of guns?

Ever hear of a spending limit?
