The Name
KG-3 is the robot we have for the 2006 competition. KG standads for Kate Gleason, who was the first women engineer to be inducted into the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. We believe that the name we gave to the robot tells people in the FIRST organization, and people outside the FIRST competition that engineering can be done by everyone, not just men.
