For two years in a row, our Eagle Robotics team has walked away as proud owners of the "Xerox Creativity Award", for our unique design in kicking the ball with our "hammer" at the 2008 Regional San Diego Competition. The second regional attended this year, the UC Davis 2008 Regional Competition, was an even bigger success and accomplishment than ever before. Our team won second place in the finals, and won the second highest award, the "Engineering Inspiration Award". Due to the receiving this prestigious award, our Eagle Robotics Team has won the opportunity to compete in Atlanta, Georgia in April for the Championship. To quote a team member...the future is bright' for our team...
The 2008 Robot is named "Hammertime",
referencing the popular MC Hammer song, "Can't Touch
This". |

2007
Last year brought us further victories but with a twist. After a few robot malfunctions at the Los Angeles Regional we radically changed the design of our robot. Our performance at the national event was not nearly as successful as our rookie year, but our team was awarded the "Xerox Creativity Award" on behalf of our outstanding community outreach events. This year we are working hard for another victorious year. Check out our essay for the year's Chairman's Award.
The 2007 Robot was named "Lucky": 2 speed
transmission, custom polypropylene claw with touch sensor,
3 ways to steer, first 1388 robot to use pneumatics,
used a vision camera, and "West Coast Drive". |

2006
By our third year we had grown to know the FIRST experience
well. Our team worked well together and the end
result was a very successful robot. At the UC Davis/Sacramento Regionalwe won the "Johnson & Johnson Sportsmanship Award". This award congratulated us on our great
team work within our team and to other teams.
The 2006 Robot was named "Z-3": (3rd Zippy),
custom belt drive, trap door for the balls, and "West
Coast Drive" (to find out a theory on the real name
of Z-3, check our news page for week 5). |

2005
Our second year brought on a new challenge as a grand
majority of our team was brand new and had nearly doubled in
size.
Many of the first year's team had graduated and gone on
to pursue more education and careers using skills they
learned on the Eagle Robotics Team. Yet our team
had another successful year, we received the "Engineering
Inspiration Award" at the UC Davis/Sacramento
Regional. Following that, we experienced more success
at the national competition.
The 2005 Robot was named "Sparky":
Self righting, double jointed arm, "Tools on Board" unique
ratchet use, blew-up speed controllers to earn the name "Sparky",
and used "West coast Drive" for the first year
for 1388 |

2004
Our
team began in 2004 with approximately 15 students all
with a common interest in science and engineering, and
a thirst to learn more. In our rookie year
we attended the regional event held in Sacramento where
we were awarded the "Rookie
All Star Award". This award was our ticket to the
national event in Atlanta, Georgia, the Championship Event.
At this event we worked our way to the top and won the title
of "Curie
Division Champions".
The first-year
robotics team at Arroyo Grande High School named
their robot "Zippy" because
it was covered in zip-ties, unique folding claw to
grab 2x ball, hook to hitch goals, ability to track
lines on the ground. |
