This year once again, we were unable to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition due to being stuck on the waitlist. Despite this, Lighting Robotics is still working hard on making improvements to old robots and gaining more resources and technology to excel at future competitions!Â
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!
