Welcome to the BullBots Home Page!

The 2010 Season Is Here!

Wootness! Time for another FRC build season. This season looks fun and at first glance the game looked easy. But as we started digging through the rules it is not as easy as it seemed. Take a look a the Game section for an overview of this year's game. The BullBots will strive to bring information and helpful documents to help any other teams out there looking for an extra leg up. We have to lead by example as the recipients of the Gracious Professionalism award in 2009. Please look at the "Ask the Bull" section for Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and feel free to ask your own questions. Also in the Team Members section we have several helpful documents and links to other sites. And I hope you enjoy your stay at the Bull Pen. Look to the right, guess what, that is all the time we have left to build our bots! *yikes!*

FIRST - The Fun and the Frustrating

The music blares! The crowd roars! The competitors eagerly await the start..."Ta-da-da d-da! Charge!" And they're off! One competitor crashes into the wall while his handler hopes nothing is broken. Another competitor sits at the starting line, almost like he's asleep or didn't hear the buzzer. Two other competitors crash into each other, thankfully they are well padded. The last two competitors in this round perform beautifully! Zooming around the stalled and dazed opponents. "Buzz!" the round is over and they stop waiting for their handlers to come and lead them back to their pits. What are these competitors you ask? They aren't animals or humans, these are automatons...machines built to compete in a game we call "FIRST Robotics Competition"!
