Welcome to the 2012/13 Season. We have a lot of momentum right now and several events coming up soon.
We will be meeting Mondays and Thursdays 3-4:30 till build season begins. Students will start Thursday with: Introductions, Tour, Panther Prowl Paperwork, and Drive "The Farrell Beast"
- In our 2 years of robotic building we have come along way. From motors taped to frames and screwed into plywood. Now we are shooting basketballs, autonomously video processing shapes and lining up shots and distances. Using sensor feedback to control flywheel RPM, position of arms, and robot navigation. Yet we still have a long way.
- Our Mission to spread STEAM to our team and beyond.
- We will beginning our COBB mentor-ship program starting next week when the FLL Mindstorm game is announced on the 28th.
- Our robotics class is looking strong. We have lots of excitement and a difficult project ahead.
