Our Robot's name is based off of the Star Wars robot R2-D2. In the movie saga, R2-D2 worked on Luke Skywalker's family farm. Our robot was created to also work on a family farm--BLT Farms--helping the family to harvest crops, plant seeds, and corral those pesty pigs. R2 stands for Robot 2, since this is our second robot built for BEST robotics. F1 stands for Farming 1 because this is out first farming robot we have built as a team.
His Brother
After careful planning, the engineers began to Create Robot 2 Farming 1, or R2-F1—our team robot. As the engineers constructed R2-F1, testing also took place. After testing, the engineers recorded data and realized mistakes, so the improve step began. However, that is not where the story ends. The SC Robotics Team is still improving R2-F1 to be ready for competition day on October 29th.
