Marco's Story

One member of our team was nice enough to write a short story about his adventure at the Plano, Texas kick-off. This is Marco Cortez's story.

My robotics team 2737 attended the FIRST Robotics Kick-Off at Plano, Texas. We departed to Plano, Texas the day before the kick-off; it was a long five hour bus drive to La Quinta Inn. I think that the bus trip to Plano felt much longer and was much more fun that the bus ride home. This was probably because I was excited to go to Plano; it was my first time going in the trip because I did not go the year before. Plano was great; I enjoyed eating cookies and popcorn while working on the robot. I was on the Electrical group who was working on wiring up and setting up all the fundamental components of the robot. We had to drill holes in a plexi glass board so that we could attach the electronics to the frame. There were two other groups: the Chassis group and the Mechanical group. The Chassis group set up the motors, while the Mechanical group worked on assembling the robot frame. At the end of the day, we gathered to put all the parts together: the motors, the frame, and the electrical board. We were missing some parts but we managed to get all the vital components together.

We wanted to let you all know to go check out our youtube page and our upcoming website. Look us up under YES Wizards Team 2737 and we will let you know when our webpage is done so you can check it out.
