Well, sorry for the hiatus but build season got a little crazy.
We have officially finished the robot and it's locked in the competition approved bag. Our robot weighs in at 119.2lbs (we have a 120lbs limit). It took several late nights but we had a working robot in time for Austin Robot Round Up (a pre-ship scrimmage) that took place on Sat. Feb. 18, 2012. We have a successful autonomous and are able to drive the robot by Kinect (although I have to admit, it is a little terrifying). We have several demos lined up before we go to competition in April.
Pictures and video will be posted on our website shortly.
Thanks for reading!

Week 2.... I'm soooo behind!!!
Good day readers,
It is now Week 2 of the 2012 FIRST season and we have finally built things! This week The Lady Cans have started assembling the frame of our robot, pulled out that awesome Kinect we got and began program our hybrid mode. By the end of the week we now have bits and pieces of every part of the robot started from the animation challenge to the mascot costumes. And a completely put together programmed and drivable six wheel tank drive robot!
