Team 1429

From VEX Wiki

General Information

Team 1429, Team KAOS, is from Galena Park, Texas (Houston). It was formed in 2008 as an expansion for our FRC veterens to keep them active during the 1st semester of school. We might look like your average robotics team, but truth is we aren't. We spend countless hours in the robotics room testing, designing, and building various robots. For the students, being part of the robotics team is an exciting experience because the team is like a family. We take on the challenge to design and build a robot for three competitions (BEST, VEX, FIRST) throughout the year. We offer experiences, not just career opportunities in engineering, but also other fields in science, technology and media. We have to overcome team challenges, while individuals contribute their time and effort to making a final working product.

During this process, we include the dedicated engineers, our supportive community and ourselves. We feel like we can actually do what may seem impossible. It is with their help, that we see ourselves as winners no matter what. This inspires the team to continue trying our very best and try progressively challenging projects. After the long days of using all of our ingenuity into designing, building, re-designing, and re-making the robot; students go home tired, but have the feeling of achievement.

2008-09' Elevation

The 2008-2009 VRC Elevation robot was named 'Slagathor'. It was able to score in all of the goals, it could flip the big cube, easily take cubes out of the autoloader, and climb the ramp at the end of the match. It was a consistant 2 cube scorer in the 20 second autonomous period.

Slagathor competed in 2 tournaments that year and qualified for the World Championships.
