Robowranglers
Team 148
Greenville, Texas

2003
Sponsored by L-3 Communications Integrated Systems and Greenville ISD, Team 148, the Robowranglers, participated in the 2003 FIRST Robotics Competition.

In the 2003 game, "Stack Attack," two alliances, one red and one blue, composed of two teams each, compete in each match.  The object of the game is to acquire and stack plastic storage containers that are initially located on the platform or placed on the playing field by human players.  Each alliance must place containers in a scoring zone on its own side of the field to score points.  The total number of points earned depends on the count of containers located in each alliance's scoring zone multiplied by the number of containers in their highest stack.  Additional points are awarded for any robot that is positioned on the top of the platform at the end of the match.

Team 148's robot, "Lone Star," was coined "the long arm of the law" for its unique strategy of play and innovative design.  The robot was the only machine at regional competition to sweep away the stacks of plastic storage containers with a large up right robot and arm.  "Lone Star" led the team to a second place seed and a semifinalist finish with teams 231 and 57.

The Robowranglers were also honored with the Xerox Creativity Award and the General Motors Industrial Design Award at the Lone Star Regional.
