  1998

Year in Review
Sponsored by Raytheon E-Systems and Greenville ISD, Team 148 participated in the 1998 FIRST Robotics Competition.

In the 1998 game, "Ladder Logic," three teams compete in each match.  The object of the game is to collect, transport and lift 22-inch rubber balls onto the side goals or into the central goal.

Team 148's robot, "The Big Ball Grabber," could lift the large balls into the center goal.  "The Big Ball Grabber" soared the team to an eighth place finish at the national competition in Orlando, Florida.  The team was named a national quarterfinalist.

The team also brought home the Best Play of the Day Award and the Featherweight in the Finals Award from the Southwest Regional.
