2008: FIRST Overdrive

The primary goal of this year was to manipulate track balls that are 40 inches in diameter and inflatable. The game was played on a track with an overpass over top of it. The track balls started on top of the overpass. Points could be scored by doing laps around the field with or without the track ball, taking the track ball off and vaulting it over the overpass, and by placing the track ball on the overpass at the end of the match. This year the team was awarded with the Midwest Autodesk Visualization Award, Midwest Regional Semi-Finalists, Wisconsin Regional Semi-Finalists, Colorado Regional Engineering Inspiration Winners, and Colorado Regional Undefeated Champions.
