BFHS robot bagged and tagged

February 27, 2014
By Derek Reynolds

Bonners Ferry High School's FIRST Team 2130 Alpha+ has finished building this year's robot! By midnight of February 18, we had our robot in its bag, ready for competition, where we can no longer work on it.

We've finished everything that we aspired to with more improvements than expected.

The Woodie Flowers Award essay, Chairman’s Award essay and our Business Plan have all been completed and submitted for our competition.

Practically all we have left to do is finish the Chairman’s Award video and our website.

The Chairman’s Award video has until competition to be finished and submitted, while our website has to be done by February 28.

We are now going to start learning things, such as driving, by using the older robots, to ready ourselves for competition, and what to do down in the pits, where the robots are prepared or worked on during competition.

We are also trying to find other schools, near us, that we can help start an FRC team.
