FIRST Kickoff was on Saturday, January 9th 2010. This year's new game is Breakaway. So far we have brainstormed about what the robot should look like, and what it should do. After many hours spent on CAD, we have successfully fabricated the frame and have built/tested several prototypes for the mechanism. More team updates/pictures to come soon!
