Welcome to Team 701's page for Robot Profiles! Sure, humans can write, speak, and rattle on about their lives but what about robots? They're not just slabs of aluminum welded together, they have minds of their own too! It would be a bore to write from a human perspective on each robot so we all agreed that each robot should write it's own story. So we gave them each a laptop and they sat down with a cup of coolant, writing their stories to be published on the website! Okay, so the part highlighted in red is NOT true, but we did decide to write it from a robot's perspective. Please take a look and enjoy! |

"Scores were totaled after scoring tetras placed inside goals (1 pt), stacked tetras (3 pts), and three in a row tetras of the same color (10 pts). If all the robots on an alliance were in the alliance's end zone, then an additional ten points were awarded." (read more) | |

"My ramps were so unique, they won the Delphi "Driving Tomorrow’s Technology" award at the Davis-Sacramento Regional last year. They were constructed with the process of compositing, using fiberglass and carbon graphite, and held together with epoxy" (read more) | |
"This year, I was the back-up plan for the team. They were orginally going to try constructing a "funnel-type" robot. That unfortunately did not fit with the rules constraints so the plan had to be dropped. After a successful prototype, I was made in a matter of weeks." (read more) |

"My canon can change the angle of elevation by contracting and releasing a heavy-duty rope by a Window motor. (I can't swivel yet...but it's something to improve on!). The canon is powered by a heavy, sturdy pneumatic system. With this canon, I can shoot small..." (read more) |
