Current Events

This year we plan to attend the FIRST robotics competition. The only problem is funding. funding. funding. For a few years we struggle to obtain the $6,000 needed to enter the competition. If you can please donate. (we are currently setting up a funding platform when it is posted we will update you)

Update 9/3/25

With the frame fully assembled and the wheels mounted, the swerve bot is looking like an actual robot now. So far we have gotten the wheels to turn and move forwards/back on their own. Now it is time to fix code issues and then get the motors to move in unison and then be able to move the robot around the room. The current goal for swerve bot is for it to be able to shoot a basketball into a 6ft hoop via a launcher mounted atop the platform.

Swerve Bot 1

This year, in place of going to the FIRST Competition, we invested in swerve wheels. These wheels will allow for increased and better movement which will support us in future competitions. Currently, Lightning Robotics is working on building a basic frame for a Swerve Bot. On this robot the team is planning to build a launcher mechanism since past mechanisms, while working, didn't preform too well. We are getting all the parts needed for the wheels soon and hopefully should be able to update you in no time!
