Team 3647 Presents: The Scalper

To continue with our naming our robots after death-related objects we have dubbed the 2012 robot The Scalper, due to it’s tendency to remove the covers of balls [fixed now…] and the MoHawk appearance the shooter hood resembles.

This robot represents our 2nd year of FRC and breaks new ground for us in design, fabrication and software. It couldn’t have been done without the dedication of all our students, mentors and parents.
We will be at the San Diego Regional March 2 though 4. Come check us out!
