2005
Sponsored by L-3 Communications Integrated Systems and Greenville ISD, Team 148, the Robowranglers, participated in the 2005 FIRST Robotics Competition. In the 2005 game, "Triple Play," two alliances, one red and one blue, composed of three teams each, compete in each match. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than your opponent alliance by placing tetras on or into goals, getting three goals in a row capped with tetras, and/or having all three robots on an alliance in their end zone at the end of the match. Team 148's robot, "Lone Star," featured a scissor lift for raising tetras several feet in the air and placing them on top of goal tetras. "Lone Star" brought the team to a quarterfinalist finish at the Lone Star Regional alongside teams 1480 and 457. At national competition in Atlanta, the team advanced to the semifinals with teams 1259 and 74. The Robowranglers also took home the Best Website Award from the Lone Star Regional for the second straight year.
