Greenville, Texas

2007
Sponsored by RackSolutions.com, L-3 Communications Integrated Systems and Greenville ISD, Team 148, the Robowranglers, participated in the 2007 FIRST Robotics Competition.

In the 2007 FRC game, "Rack 'N' Roll," two three-team alliances compete in each match.  The object of the game is to use three different types of tubes called "keepers," "ringers," and "spoilers" to score on a center structure, called the "rack," containing 24 "spider legs."

Team 148's robot, "Lone Star," could pick up the tubes and score on the spider legs very quickly.  "Lone Star" helped the team finish as a Finalist at the FRC St. Louis Regional alongside teams 217 and 2133 and as a quarterfinalist at the FRC Lone Star Regional alongside teams 846 and 1750.  At national competition in Atlanta, the team advanced to the semifinals of the Newton Division with teams 1102 and 1574.

The Robowranglers also took home the Xerox Creativity Award from the St. Louis Regional and the GM Industrial Design Award from the Lone Star Regional.

Sponsored by RackSolutions.com and Greenville ISD, Vex Team 148, the Robowranglers, participated in the 2007 FIRST Vex Challenge.  The team brought home the CONNECT Award at the FVC Southwest Regional.
