Working Hard As We Close On Week 1 Of The Season! Off To A Great Start! How Is Everyone Else Doing? Good

Our robot did very well on Day 2 of Robocon considering that it fell off the pyramid from Zone 3 during a practice match the day before.

Although we got eliminated from the finals, we're going home with the "Awesome Pit Award!"

Prototyping with ways to throw the ball today... We aren't saying how yet but it's on it's way!

Our funding hit 100% for our Kickstarter today! However, it's not over yet; we want to hit our stretch goals! If we hit $1,500 then ALL backers will receive a surprise in addition to their rewards!

We brought in our donated 3-D printer today!

Our new mascot cape is done!

Some of you may be curious as to who's technically running this blog, and well, yes we're Team 2152 SMASH, this blog is being moderated by two students, Logan(Me!!) and Molly.

Now for a little bit about me! My name is Logan and I'm a student at Spruce Creek Highschool. I like dogs, video games, and enforcing gracious professionalism. I'm on mechanical team and also happen to be our mascot, DR. SMASH!!!!! *airhorns*

I'm Molly, I'm also a student at Spruce Creek, I like snails, visual art, and botany. I'm on the bumper design team, I manage our robot room, design team pins, help manage the teams socials, and do a tiny bit of work on mechanical. :]

We recently finished working on our motorized cart! It's now fully operational!

We are excited to now show off some of our brand new mini pin designs. The colors are of course taken from this year's theme, and we can't wait to show you our other designs!

Our 2012 robot is getting into the spirit of the holidays!
