Team 2252B was composed of Edwin Peña (mechanic), Nycol Cotto (mechanic), Kevin Rivera (coach), Ricardo Torres (programmer), and Siúl Muñoz (driver). This team was in the High School Advance Division. Their robot had a U base with four 4'' wheels and it had a scissor lift which went up through a system of gears and sliders. The intake was with tank treads and flaps. Basically, a plate that served as a scoop to put the sacks in the treads. Then the scissor lift lifted so the sacks could be put in the goal posts when the treads moved. A very complex system!
