With the complications of the Covid-19 epidemic, Our team has decided to channel our skills into a new and unknown field.
With the new opportunity to compete in the NMRC conference Meet In April, Our team is working hard on improving our robot and being there for each other.
As with all new additions to our robot we continuously test fit, refine and test again until we get the new addition to top performance and perfection.
from Ideation to Creation we build, tweak, adjust and build again to construct and improve our robot.
Our volunteers are a HUGE asset to our team! The help us plan, build, problem solve and understand the robot.
We do our Level Best to keep our bog bot running like a top in peak performance. Replacing a belt or filing a rough spot we felt.
