Our Outreach Robot
What is our Outreach Robot?
Why do we have an Outreach Robot?
We are fortunate to have enough resources available to be able to keep a whole robot assembled through multiple seasons. If you cannot set aside a robot for Outreach, we recommend at least keeping robots through the offseason for use in Outreach events.
- This robot was originally created for the 2017-2018 FTC Season, FIRST Relic Recovery
- After the season ended, we kept this robot in working condition so we could use it for Outreach
- We added stickers to the side panel, made a “Go Dons” flag, and changed the battery mount
- We have now kept this robot for about two years!
Why do we have an Outreach Robot?
- Having a specific robot set aside for Outreach ensures we always have a functional robot ready to drive whenever we have an event
- This specific robot works well as our Outreach robot because it is:
- Light (only about 15lbs) and easy to transport
- Simple controls make it easy to drive for kids and adults alike
- Easy to repair, sturdy and durable (it has lasted almost two years!)
- Like our team, this bot has a lot of ARAGON SPIRIT!
