As of December 10, 2009 we will be using only the name "Tigerbytes" to identify our team - because of this we have created a new blog site for our team communication. Click on the link at the right to go to our new blog site.
This old blog using the name Lincobotics will no longer be used.

Robots taking over Hyde Park!
We are demonstrating our robots at the Hyde Park Children's Film Festival on Friday, July 11th. This will be the first showing of this year's revised competition design. We're also bringing some models from previous years: "Giraffe", last year's Regional-winning robot and "Warthog", the first robot we ever built. Local folk and blues artist Danny Cox will be performing and the main feature is the live-action movie Transformers. The fun starts at 7:30 at 36th and Gillham Road -- join us for the fun and we might even let you drive a robot!

Robotics schedule, week of 5-27
We are planning to meet in the robotics room every night this week at 4.
We have a drastically improved design for the next competition, but we need more hands to make it happen.
Hope to see you there!
(There is a late bus at 5:30.)

Setting Up for Competition
Things started this morning at Hale Arena and the team was busy first thing this morning to get the robot unpacked and assembled. The Tigerbytes are at the bottom left corner in dark blue shirts.
The shirts look pretty good, especially accessorized with a pair of safety glasses.
The team is taking the robot off somewhere using a new transportation cart.

Monday is a Work Day!
Even though Monday, February 18th is a school holiday for President's Day we will still be working. Tyler has said he will be at the school at 8:00am and Ivan will be at the school most of the day. This is the last full day to work before having to send off the robot on Tuesday.
Video of Robot Mast
This video shows the mast going up and down - the robot is coming together and showing signs of life!
Robot is Taking Shape
The robot is coming along and you can see the guts of the body of the robot. (If you look closely you can also see what we are working on for graphics for the robot, too.)
There is more to the building than just assembling the robot. The control panel and all the programming is so important to making the whole project complete.
