Blog Post #1

Hi! Welcome to the official blog of VEX robotics competition team, Space cookies Team1868A. We are a group of five middle school girls from the bay area. Our mission is to build a robot that has a shooting mechanism and is able to launch VEX balls into the net. Our vision for the future is that this prototype may potentially be an interactive robot that can play with people.
