Year in Review
Sponsored by Raytheon AIS and Greenville ISD, Team 148 participated in the 2000 FIRST Robotics Competition.

In the 2000 game, "Co-Opertition FIRST," two alliances composed of two teams each compete in each match.  The object of the game is to collect and transport ball to their goal and position the robot on the ramp or hang the robot from the goal at the end of the match.

Team 148's robot, "Captain Hook," led the team to a quarterfinalist finish at the Kennedy Space Center Regional.  At national competition in Orlando, Florida, the team finished in the top third of 300 machines.
