On Sunday, September 30, 2012, Jordan Estee, Alex Zimmerman, and Greg Tracey of 8701 went as part of the WHS contingent to the River City Robotics competition. Along with our good friends from Omaha North (1064B), we were the only teams to use the VEX system.
The challenge involved building a 14" wide robot on-site to complete a challenge. The challenge was to drive into a large-scale model of a cow and gather a whole manner of things that the cow "swallowed". (This included stones, wire, screws, bolts, nails, and plastic bottle caps.) The robot had to be able to then bring out as many objects as possible in five minutes. Our robot had some technical difficulties, but still performed at a very high level. Westside VEX took second place overall to Omaha North!
Pictures will be posted shortly on the 'Media' page.
