2012 Robot

Introducing the Robo Lions' 2012 FRC robot! Overall we used seven motors and three pistons, the most we have ever used. We added a bit of flair to our robot by staining the backboard blue and spray- painting a yellow lion. We then put it behind our surgical tubing to give the feeling of a “caged” lion.

Our robot is capable of driving over the bump, tipping and climbing up the bridges, and shooting into all three levels of baskets.
