Our team designs, builds, wires, and programs robots to ready them for competition on the local, state, and national levels. Our team this year is growing. While students were able to share computers for programming last year, this year we have six programmers on our team. In order to give them all hands-on experience with the programming languages used on the robot and train them properly prior to competition, we need to purchase another computer. We chose this computer because it has the capability to run the software that we need to run multiple programming languages and should last a number of years.
