About Us

The Gunn Robotics Team from Gunn High School (Palo Alto, CA) is a robotics team that participates in the FIRST Robotics Competition as Team 192. The team is mainly student-centered, and it is the students who lead and push the team forward. Each of our members has different skills, from machining and 3D design to programming and animation. We are one of the two teams who have won the national animation award three times, in 1997, 2006, and 2012. We have consistently been one of the best teams in FRC and we plan to keep it that way!

Website

In the last few years, our website began to show its age. To this end a small group of students worked to bring the site to the style and function of 2012, while bringing new features to help team members and the community. Built upon Drupal, an industry-wide content management system, the website uses new web standards, improves browser compatibility, and allows for easy updating of site content and media.

Rebound Rumble

"Rebound Rumble" is played on a 27' by 54' carpeted area with 7.5" foam basketballs. Alliances of three robots each attempt to score on 4 different hoops at each end of the field, with the top hoop being worth 3 points, the middle hoops 2 points, and the bottom hoop 1 point. The match begins with a 15 second hybrid period when one robot per alliance maybe controlled with with a Microsoft Kinect. An extra three points are earned for each successful basket. Following the hybrid period, the teleop period begins and drivers may control their robots.
