FIRST General Forum

okay this was my first year and it was amazing!

when team 1557 first started in 2005 there was another team i believe it was 180 or 183 it was not SPAM ill have to look on the robot to be sure but the first year they gave us a robot that was used for the game where the robot had to hang from a bar i was told by a mentor that that was the last year they were a team.

now i think they were from orange county but they have since vaporized off the radar i cant find anything about them could some please tell me what this team was or is

SPAM is 180, so it isn’t 180. 183 is not in CD-Media, TBA, or FIRSTWiki. They may never have existed, or may just have disintegrated.

It may be 186. They were from Florida, and are no longer around, according to TBA.

Here are pics of their team from '03](http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/15880) and '02](http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/13795).

Eh, this was just from looking around the above mentioned sites and this site. I certainly wasn’t around in 2004 or 2005, but I still hope my investigative work helps. Maybe some of the more veteran members (esp. veterans from florida) will be more knowledgeable.

Good luck in searching!

it might have been 183 or 138 ill have to check the robot on thursday

4

183 was from Texas and has not competed in some time.
138 is from New Hampshire and still competes.

5

Maybe you can post a picture of the robot and people can try to recognize them that way.

Based on what you said, the robot is either from 2004 (likely) or 2000 (less likely).

6

186 was the Gateway Alliance, which last competed in an FRC regional at the 2004 Palmetto Regional. Perhaps that’s who you’re thinking of?

7

186 was from Lake Buena Vista and did not compete after 2004.

8

ill try and find a picture on our website but if not ill find out on thursday

i have a partial pic here its the one with the pvc just above the donuts

edit<> its really small i dont know what happened

1083, The Emoticons? Not sure where in Florida they were from. The robot in the picture doesn’t look like theirs though, but I can’t really tell. I know at least one of their mentors now works with 1902, Exploding Bacon.

10

It wasn’t them. Their 04 robot was a collector only. Didn’t hang.

Believe they were from Orlando.

[edit] he never said their robot hung. Just that it was the game where robots hung. Coulda been 1083.

11

As far as my memory serves, I believe it is team 186’s 2004 robot.

12

As the guy who did the rankings at Robot Rodeo that year (in a strange-smelling back room with Gary Dillard using a white board), I can say with certainty that 1083 (Team Emoticons) competed with their own robot. They were also somehow shorted a match in all the ZOMG-the-field-broke scheduling, but such is the peril of being the host team.

13

okay i dont think its 1083

i think its 183 i have a partial side picture if you zoom you can see a 3 or a 6 following an 8

we call it the disney bot because they were only sponsered by disney

they did hang from the bar attached to the pvc is a length of cable wich is connected to a very sweet looking grappling hook

14

That being said I suspect it is 1068 they were sponsored by Disney and only existed 2003-2005 from Orlando, FL

15

it is not team 1083 it does not have omniwheels

it could still be 1068 or something else

16

Ok, I dug through some old stuff I got from 1065.

Here’s what I’ve come up with. (We’re talking 2004 Robots, I hope).
In the background, 1083

I’ll keep looking…I thought I had some left over 186 stuff. ><

A list of teams who competed at the Florida Regional in 2004. I’m not sure which are Florida Teams, or what Florida Teams didn’t attend the regional, but hopefully the list will help. Process of elimination anyone?

Hanging on a bar could also be 2000.

19

Yes, but that doesn’t meet gorilla’s timeframe of being given the robot when his team organized in 2005.

20

not 1065 or 1068 it could be 2000 on the robot it has 2 cim motors and drill motors

i dont know how old it was when they gave it to us

you should see how it throws the grappling hook there’s a piece of pvc attached to a moving arm that pulls forward somehow and springs back with surgical tubing and throws that hook which is reeled in by a window motor we never got to see it work because it was not working when they gave it to us(i really want to get it working but everyone else on the team wants the other old robots working)

i think it was from 2000 because that was the year the championship was at epcot and one of our metors son was on that team and they somehow got the robot when they started team 1557 we will all know for sure on thursday night
