Year in Review
Sponsored by L-3 Communications Integrated Systems and Greenville ISD, Team 148, the Robowranglers, participated in the 2002 FIRST Robotics Competition.

In the 2002 game, "Zone Zeal," two alliances composed of two teams each compete in each match.  The object of the game is to place balls into goals and position robots and/or goals in the scoring zones at the end of the match.

Team 148's robot, "Lone Star," could control the hexagon shaped goals, score into these goals, and pick up the soccer balls.

The Robowranglers were named the 2002 Chariman's Award Winner at the Lone Star Regional.  The Greenville High School student body was also commended by FIRST judges for their support of the team through the fundraiser, "Pennies for the Bot," in which team members raised 100,000 pennies.
