Build Season under way!

Team Unlimited has already begun our building, currently we have several designs and we are experimenting with the best design right now. We are still working on our coding presentation, and will hopefully have it done soon. Hopefully every one's designs are going well, and I can't wait to see all the amazing designs that come out from this challenge!

Feel free to contact Team Unlimited through our website or leave comments here! You can also personally contact me on MSN (MSN: ppilvines@comcast.net) and AIM (AIM: synner1128).

Best of luck to everyone out there, and we can't wait to "Face-Off" this year (though hopefully it will be in an alliance with you guys rather than against you!)

This year, the basis of this game is...well, how about we let the documentation explain it all!

Check out the FIRST Tech Challenge newest challenge here!

Best of luck to everyone! Its going to be another great season ahead! Can't wait to "Face Off" with everyone on the field!

P.S. I just finished up a template of the field for strategy, autonomous, etc. I always find it useful, so I thought I would share it with everyone :)

Welcome to Face-Off!

Welcome to Face-Off everyone!

The new FTC Challenge was announced today (at 5pm), but Team Unlimited got the chance to see the animation and field ahead of time! We attended a kick-off in Rhode Island where we saw the field and the game animation.

The challenge is very interesting, played with hockey pucks, well...maybe its better if we let the animation explain it all...

Kits are shipped!

The new season is upon us all, and we have a lot to look forward. The new kits should be arriving or have already arrived. The box is quite large, I'm thinking of making it into a temperary bed some time when those meetings get boring, and I have nothing to do.

Team Unlimited will try to get pictures up ASAP, and will try to get some of our training materials up ASAP (currently in the works are a coding presentation, more to come if we have time).

This weekend we are going to Rhode Island to help with their FTC kickoff, and also doing fundraising in Sharon! So if you live near us, come stop by and talk to us!

Best of luck to all the teams out there!

And remember, the new season in released this Saturday! Can't wait to see what it is!
