East Coast Robotics has done it again. The team traveled to a new venue this year, The Alameda County Fairgrounds, for another week of robot mayhem. Our team constructed the Combat box as well as assist in managing the tournament.

Here is a cross section of a floor table.

The floor consists of table and bridge sections. The bridge sections are handled with the forklift as the team uses bars to line up the 8, 3/4 inch bolts that hold the floor together. The floor is made up of 144 sections.

East Coast Robotics traveled to San Mateo for Season 11 of RoboGames in the spring of 2015. Our team members were part of the team responsible for the setup and operation of the large combat arena. Work began several days before the doors opened, it took 3 days to construct the 100,000 pound box. This season featured new Lexan on three sides of the arena, providing the audience and camera crew a crystal clear view of the robots.
