No Tools Allowed!



     With all our plans set straight for Blitzkrieg, we didn’t know what we were supposed to do with our beloved yet run-down piece of machinery named Fuego. Although it had served us well since the beginning of time, we just had to say goodbye to the much-loved robot. And what better way to offer a heartfelt farewell than to crush the robot into bits. Yeah, it was awesome. 

     But that “heartfelt farewell” turned into something brutal. Going by the phrase “no tools allowed,” we went from geeky technophiles to primordial cavemen. With our bare hands, we tried to knock the nuts off from the still-robust structure to no avail. Then, a sudden gust of enlightenment provoked us to use a huge rock to dismantle the robot and we ended up with a seemingly-useless pile of crap. 




     We set aside Fuego’s remains and laid him to rest. And with this, all our eyes are now on Project Blitzkrieg!

Sketch Up


    Everything seems according to plan. A bunch of ideas came into our mind and let our creativity do the rest. It was another day for us to get a chance to complete the sketch of the robot. After we brainstormed, it was a piece of cake.
                      
     Fuego, the name of our former bot,with an outdated system, must undergo a complete repair - if we are to still use it. The burning beast has been used for 3 years now and it would be a big challenge for us because for those past years, we were very unlucky in taking home the bacon, but now this is the time to write the name of TagScie in the history of Robotics.

     To begin with the 'reconstruction' of Fuego, the first thing to fix is the frame. It is very important because it will serve as the base for the rest of the bot. Scrap metals, wires, hardware tools, mechanical parts, and other useful things that we could think are the essential necessities in reconstructing the robot.

     The day ended with a smile. Two days have passed but there are still more days to come. Here's hoping we'll end up with an amazing robot that will bring the name of TagScie to glory.

     Glory to God, Hail to TagScie!
