The Rockwall Herald Banner ran a nice article about the 2010 Fulton School BEST robotics team. We had a great year!

Pizza lunch before game day!

The robot is supposed to sort gadgets and gizmos but it turns out it's also good for pizza delivery! Now it's time to pack up for the trip to A&M Commerce tomorrow morning.

Also good for a practical joke!!!!

The 2010 Fulton Robotics Team: BEST and SeaPerch

2010-10-19T12:58:00.000-05:00

Wow, it's been a year since the Fulton School entered its first robotics competition. This year we are in two: the Lion's Pride BEST, run out of Texas A&M Commerce, and the SeaPerch program.

This year's BEST team is three times the size of the 2009 team and we are entering all the contests. Stay tuned for a complete update of the build and Mall Day 2010!

Post Game Day analysis

Wow, Game Day for BEST-Dallas 2009 Robotics has come and gone! We learned a lot, enough so that after lunch the original robot underwent major surgery and came out a lean, mean fighting machine (at least more so than the morning version). The redo enabled the Fulton team robot to pick up the handballs, tennis balls, and tomato paste cans, and resulted in us moving from the bottom of the scorecard to the middle. All in all it was a great experience and we have learned a lot that will help us with the 2010 competition, because we do intend to come back! We'd like to thank everyone at BEST-Dallas and their corporate sponsors for putting on this event. And for all the support from family, friends and Fulton. Now to relax before going back to regular Physics class next week.

Demo Day: two weeks and counting!

The robot survived Demo Day at JJ Pearce HS in Richardson. We have our work cut out for us over the next 14 days until Game Day at UTD but we can do it!

It Works! First Test Drive.

This is The Fulton School's (www.thefultonschool.org) first year to enter the Dallas-BEST robotics competition (www.dallas-best.org). Our team is small but dedicated! Please visit our blog to view our progress in building our first robot.

These pictures were taken at the Kickoff held in September at JJ Pearce HS in Richardson.
