Our Robots

With the objective of the competition changing every year, TigerTronics builds a new robot for each year's FIRST Robotics Competition.  Here, you'll find all our robots, past and present.

Soccerates 2010 - Soccerates

Soccerates is designed to play a form of robot soccer, hence the name, a combination of "soccer" and "Socrates" (all of TigerTronics' robot's names come from ancient Greece or Rome in one way or another). Soccerates is designed to play both offensively and defensively, and is able to move throughout the playing field of the 2010 FIRST Competition, including over the mid field ramps and through the tunnels. The retractable flap on the top can guard a goal, and a shooting device can kick soccer balls into an opposing team's goal.
Tritos 2009 - Tritos

Tritos was built during the 2009 FIRST season, where if competed in two official FIRST competitions, the Finger Lakes Regional and the Chesapeake Regional.  Tritos was designed to be able to pick up "Lunar Balls" and then dump them into a trailer pulled by opponent robots to score points.
Apollo in competition 2008 - Apollo

Apollo was originally designed to bring a 40 inch ball around a large track, but has been modified to instead be faster and only swipe the ball off an overhead holder.  Apollo has successfully competed in the 2008 Rochester Regional competition and World FIRST Championship in Atlanta.
Atlas with lifters deployed. 2007 - Atlas

Designed to lift two smiler robots over one foot into the air, Atlas was named after the Greek god of weightlifting and heavy burdens.  Atlas helped TigerTronics win the Rookie All-Star Award at the 2007 Philadelphia Regional competition.  This allowed TigerTronics and Atlas to compete in the championships in Atlanta.
