Who we are

We are a robotics team from Colegiul Național „Ion Luca Caragiale” in Ploiești. Every September FIRST hands us a new game. We get one season to design, build and program a robot that can win it.

Fail. Optimize. eXcel.

Chapter 01 / 03

Fail.

Every robot starts as a pile of mistakes. Intakes jam, lifts snap, autonomous runs drive into walls. We break things early so they don’t break on the field.

Petrisor’s final CAD assembly is named robot fixed v57
Chapter 02 / 03

Optimize.

Then we measure everything. Each part is argued over in CAD, printed, machined and tested again until it earns its place on the robot.
