As time went on we had to gear up for competition. Our first was held at home in the L.C. Bird Gymnasium. There was a problem with our lifters that we did not really recognize until after the competition. Scissor lifters have a lot to do with balance and ratios; if you have one slight difference in length of the individual components of the lifter this can cause the whole lifting mechanism to be tilted. Here is one of my classmates (our driver) getting our robot ready, and testing the controller and lifters exc. This competition at our high school was our first competition and mostly a learning experience. If I can recall our team scored the highest our of all of the teams from Bird . There were many complications during the competition, but in the end we survived. And got strict orders from one of our instructors to read the rule book.
