RCR's Official Competition Season Closes on a High Note
For the second year in a row we have been able to compete in both the Kansas City and St Louis competitions and have made it to the quarterfinals. Once again our robot performed well relative to the field of robots and our students got a lot of practice working together to operate, maintain and repair the robot
(that was all part of the plan).

See our 2010 results and match video here!

What thrilled us the most was our team's winning of the Engineering Excellence Award (And getting our picture with Dean!). It shows how we proceeded from our overall system requirements to the resulting design through some mind mending thinking, detailed observation of our experimental system, some skilled craftsmanship and excellent cooperation between the team members as well as some knowledgeable communication between the students and the judges.
That is what makes us all winners.

The 2010 Robot "Chum Chucker" (Chummy)

is shaping up nicely. We are wrapping up the final details here in the last week of build season. Some initial testing at Gateway's robotics lab was helpful in determining where we needed some improvements. Thanks again (3 years running) to team 931 for graciously offering their full field for us to use. 

We are registered for the Kansas City Regional March 4th, 5th, and 6th then the St. Louis Regional on March 18th, 19th and 20th.

Keep up with all the action on our YouTube and Webshots sites.

What an exciting off-season for FIRST in St. Louis!!!

Team 1094 joined several other local teams at the St. Louis Science Center's International Science Fair SciFest09 where Dean Kamen was a guest Speaker. We were among the first to hear the FIRST Robotics Championship competition was coming to HERE for the 2011, 2012, and 2013 seasons. Hats off to the St. Louisans who were able to convince the FIRST organization that St. Louis is not only the Gateway to the West but also the Gateway to the Future!
