 Welcome
to the official web site of the Robowranglers, a
robotics team comprised of students and teachers
from Greenville High School and engineers from L-3
Communications Integrated Systems. Each year
through the FIRST Robotics Competition, L-3
volunteer engineers, high school students, and
members from the community partner together to
build a robot in a time period of six weeks.
Through this building process, engineers mentor
students in brainstorming, prototyping, design, and
creation of the robot and its functions.
Students work at L-3 each night to create and
build the various parts needed for the
robot. This enables the students to take
classroom concepts from the math and science
fields and apply them to a real world situation.
 This
year team 148 is being coached by Greenville High
School instructors Vanessa Pope
and Terri
Galloway, and New Horizons Learning Center
instructor
Johnny Tharp. Seniors on the team
include Beth
McClellen, Matt Mahrer, Sarah Wright,
Drew Roberts, Brian
Wight, Justin Griggs, and Lizzy
Wisdom. Joining juniors Jason Maxwell,
Kevin Morris, Megan
Wineinger, Michael Risley, Phillip
Stromberg, Peter Chung, and Amanda
Isham are sophomores Nathan Follett, Justin
Tharp, and Lane Gould. Also on
the team is freshman Logan Marcum.
Engineers volunteering from L-3 Communications
Integrated Systems are Chris Follett,
John Hodapp, Monty
Wineinger, Steve
Maxwell, Casey Welch, Adam Davies, Adam Reppond, and
Gabe Cook. Also mentoring from
Sierra Nevada Corporation is Brad Marcum.

Briefly,
I wanted to thank everyone, again, for a
fantastic robotics season. We have built
such an outstanding foundation this year for
success, that we can only exceed all
expectations in the 2005-2006 school year.
I have said many times this year, our seniors
set a standard for everyone to follow and I know
they have left a legacy of success for the next
group to achieve. Congratulations, to the
Class of 2005 and thank you for your hard work
and dedication.
