About Us
The Robowranglers is a robotics team comprised of students and teachers from Greenville High School, engineers from Innovation First International, and L-3 Mission Integration in Greenville, Texas. Each year through the FIRST Robotics Competition, volunteer engineers, high school students, and members from the community partner together to build a robot in a time period of six weeks. Through this building process, engineers, mentor, and students partake in brainstorming, prototyping, design, and creation of the robot and its functions. Students work with engineers each evening to create and build the various parts needed for the robot. This enables the students to take classroom concepts from the math and science fields and apply them to a real world situations.
Game
This year's game which FIRST has been dubbed, "Aerial Assist" has proven to be quite cooperative, though conceptually the objectives of the game are quite simple and very straight forward. This year's game has proven to be an alliance reliable game as alliance partners are able to assist each other in cycles for up to an added 30 points per cycle. While also having the option to throw the 25" diameter ball over the truss for an added 10 points. With the option of another alliance member to catch the over the truss thrown ball for an added 10 points. This years game has many elements for which a team will chose to focus on and the decisions they make as to which one to focus on can make or break a team's season.
