Underdrive Update

13 10 2008

Underdrive is running with full speed. Now with several schools interested in participating in the event, it has become largely bigger than originally thought. Due to the number of schools and conflicting schedules, the competition has been scheduled for November 22nd (a time has not been determined yet).

In recent weeks, the field has been completed most of the way and just requires a few specifics to be complete. Pictures of the field so far can be seen here.

All of us on Team 1261 are eagerly excited for the competition and can’t wait to compete with others in Underdrive!

Site Update

1 08 2008

Hello world!

We’re currently switching to Wordpress as we’ve had a few comment on our old site and we believe this new site will be a lot better.

Sadly though, we lost the old site and content while we began to initiate the switch - which is why you are seeing this instead of anything about FIRST. So, if you happen to pop upon here and have a question for Team 1261, send a email to tanner[at]tssoftware[dot]net.

Thanks for your understanding,

Team 1261 - The Robolions
