Team 148
Greenville, Texas

2001
Sponsored by Raytheon AIS and Greenville ISD, Team 148, the Robowranglers, participated in the 2001 FIRST Robotics Competition.

In the 2001 game, "Diabolical Dynamics," one alliance composed of four teams compete in each match.  The object of the game is to place balls into goals, position the robots in the end zone at the end of the match, move the goals onto a semi-stable bridge, balance the bridge at the end of the match, and end the match prior to the two minute time limit.

Team 148's robot was designed with a two-speed pneumatic gear box that would pull a 300-pound load.  The robot led Team 148 to the finals where the team was named the Lone Star Regional Winner.  At national competition in Orlando, Florida, the team received eighth place.

The Robowranglers also received the Leadership in Control Award at the Lone Star Regional and the Incredible Play Award at national competition.
