 Welcome, weary net surfer! You have stumbled across the home page of FIRST Team 1087!
Now, what is FIRST, you might ask? Well, click on the link over to the left, and you'll get to see their homepage! FIRST is an international robotics competition originated from New Hampshire. It's goal, among other things, is to teach the youth of today about gracious professioinalism, an ideal that they wholeheartedly impress upon all involved. They also support mentoring as one of their keystones, and encourage all that can to get involved.
But, after all that idealistic stuff (don't get us wrong, it's actually really cool), we're all about the robots.
Every year, FIRST gives us a challenge, a kit of parts, and a heap of encouragement, and sends us off to develop a robot capable of accomplishing amazing feats -- like shooting balls through a hoop, for example. This year, they admonished us to build a 'bot capable of stacking inner-tubes on a rack. It's kind of like tic-tac-toe, but WAY cooler. So, now that you know what's going on, feel free to browse our site and see all the wonder that is team 1087!! | Latest News New goals in the team sections! Go view our new goals! Oh, and our website overhaul is now underway. We're going to end the tyranny of Microsoft! Rawr! Hooray for Science! Hello, everyone! So, we've found a new host for our webpage, and that's a very good thing. Unfortunately, because the internet is set up like it is, that means that while we transfer from one host to another, the webpage will be... weird. And I use that term loosely. Anywho, you should at least be able to see bare-bones HTML or this page. So, welcome the coming of a new webpage with open arms! Oh, and if you're looking for your team assignments, they're under "Teams", Your Group (Mechanical, Marketing, etc), "Assignments". Tally-ho! Here's a link to the West Side Lan Group, the Steam group run by local West students. DavisJ3608 is my screenname. Message me, I'm lonely! | Quick Links Our blog is online!! See it here!
