This photo was taken close to 5 pm on Monday, February 23. The team turned on Roccobot2K4 for the very first time on this date; you can write that down on as the date of birth (DOB). At that time, the robot was fully assembled, powder coating done, and most of the wiring on the robot completed. For the next three days, the programers did thier best to callibrate the robot, and encouraged the drivers to practice like crazy.

I am in the background with a blue polo shirt.

I love this arm design!! Inredible reach! Can anyone explain with some detail how it telescopes?? I would ask them in person, but unfourtunately I wont be at any of their regionals…any info would be really apprecited.
