This year's challenge

Here, this year's robot is trying to pick up the blue ball (it is 10 lbs and at the current distance to the robot it equals approx. 55 lbs)

And who said that lifting things was always easy? 6 feet above the ground on a bridge with a robot to get it down? That does give that idea a run for its money.

And the ball is thrown over the bridge! Wow! What a throw!

This was our first robot. Made out a heavy motors and iron the robot was very hard to keep within the weight limiter.










This robot we took to our second competition. Though it may not look the best we got second with it at the nationals!



















This robot was as shown in the picture to lift pyramids made out of PVC pipe and stack them.



























This robot started our time as being the Channel Cats. Since that year all of our robots have been orange and had resemblance to fish. =)












2007 was the first time that people actually remembered us and the first time we almost won the competition.

With two ramps at its side and an arm the was able to reach 8ft high this was a monster










It's fast... It's big... What is it?!?!?! It's the 2008 robot that lifts over 60lbs and lifts it over 7ft high!

The big robot with the big ball is here!
