Welcome to the Team Argos Website. This is the home of Team 1756, a proud
member of FIRST Robotics. We hope through this site to share a little
bit of our fun and learning experiences with you. Enjoy your stay.
In 2006, we started as a rookie team, learning many things about technology,
teamwork, and friendship. We shared many great experiences ranging from
the actual build to playing dodge ball in the halls. 2007 turned
out to be an exciting year. In 2008 we fought hard and came close to winning the regional.
We're excited about what's to come in 2009! No matter what, it's bound to be...

End of Season Party
Some grillin', some chillin', some whiffle ball fun. Hope you were there for the end of the season party. Awards were handed out to many students. A photo souvenir of the St Louis trip was given to each student and mentor. The mentors squeaked out a win over the students in whiffle ball competition. A good time was had by all!

St. Louis Story on FIRST Robotics
See what the St. Louis community thinks of our visit to their fine city, and their thoughts on FIRST Robotics Competition.
Smart Thinkers Tinker With Engineering at FIRST Robotics Regionals
All students involved with this project have a lot to be thankful for and should be thoroughly content with what they have accomplished.

Build-A-Bot
Cruising the web, I found something fun on the Wall-E website. You can build your own robot and play games with it.
You can build a virtual robot here too:
Then there are sites that let you buy parts to build an actual robot:
And information on how to build robots:
Lastly, science information about an octopus robot.
Have fun!

Saturday Regionals Scores
Saturday at the St Louis Regionals, we competed for seed positions in the regionals competition matches to be held Saturday afternoon. I will update this news item as the day goes by to keep viewers up to date on scores and other events.
Here are the numbers from Saturday's competitions:
Each time a match is scheduled, the team is assigned to an alliance of 3 teams. It can be the blue alliance for one game and the red alliance for the next game.
Our record in the seeding matches is now 6-5. We were seeded as #10 before the elimination matches began.
