The Sunset High School Robotics Club spent the day Saturday, January 9, building a robot. It started as three boxes of lifeless plastic and metal, and transformed in to an (almost) working complete robot. That’s right, you heard me: IT TRANSFORMS!
Electric motors come out of the box and cause confusion.
The frame is definitely not just a big metal square.
Working the electronics is, as it turns out, a lot like brain surgery.
The field of combat; mechanized combat to the death!
That's how we roll.
One frame, plus one drive system equals one awesome!
The currently unnamed Bison Bot, and a tired, dirty, happy crew.
So this is the basic frame, drive and brain. The team is going to spend the next six weeks adding whatever our little friend needs so he/she/it will be able to play soccer on a team of three, on an obstacle course, against three other robots.
The first thing he/she/it needs is a name. Maybe you can help us out. Give us your suggestions in the comments below.
Awesome! Sunset looks different! I want a robot! Good job ppl
that is so awesome. i can’t believe sunset kids are making robots for the future of mankind. now, i want to join the club and create my own robot.
very creative and outstanding performance!
perhaps “jiggle it” would be a good moniker? Can you get jiggy with that name? Maybe “jiggy” is better.
This is so cool that we are doing this here in sunset. This reminds me of a show that used to come out on PBS robowars. i think we should call it, robowarrior if you add a slam hammer to it…haha.. no i think we should call it the flash!
Okay here’s the deal, I’m the best there is! If you need any help with robots this is the guy you should get into contact with(me)! They don’t call me Jonathan “Autobot” Lopez for no reason. I can tell this robot was made by beginners but no biggy, give me about two or three days with it and I would make this robot look and act as Optimus Prime or Megatron. Which ever favors yall.
I always liked that little kids name from the Jetsons.

Wow this is a very good creation especially because we “bisons” created it. It looks like this robot is going to be beyond of what people expect. I think a good name for this robot would be “Andy”. I hope good things come out with this robot good luck bisons (:…
it shall be called ELROY!!!
Elroy sounds good, thanks Ricky. As for Johnathan, if you would like to show us”beginners” how it’s done, come by after school… we work on it everyday, sometimes past eight. So less talk and more action, otherwise..shhh.
Wow! I think that’s an awesome project. When i first heard about the class, before it began, i thought it was an insane idea, pretty much impossible. Now looking at these pictures, I’m proud of students who all participated in the creation of the famous “Bison Bot.” As for the name itself, its pretty self explanatory, I think the name’s awesome as well. Good Job!
