Demonstration and Demolition !

Team #6972 has begun its 2015-2016 season with a 6 member crew.  Our first gathering this year was with FRC team YETI at Charlotte's Convention Center to man FIRST's booth and give robot demonstrations. Our second gathering was a demolition party to take apart last season's robot (Goodbye Scorch!) to make way for K9 (the Android learning model).  Check out the photos below!
