The Red Devils' robot has been successfully shipped! February 12 saw the robot packed into a crate, on the way to our first competition of the season at the Waterloo Regional. The team worked hard to complete the robot on time, overcoming many technical challenges. Now the Red Devils are busy preparing for the competitions that will begin after March break.
The shipping of the robot does not mean the build process is over, however. The programming and electronics teams continue to develop the robot's programming and driver's control panel. Human players are busy honing their basketball skills in preparation for the game. Team members have also been observing recent competitions, taking note of advantageous techniques and strategies.
The Red Devils are anticipating success at this year's two competitions. We will once again be competing at the Waterloo and Toronto Regionals, with up to 70 other teams. All sponsors are invited to join the team on the following dates to experience FIRST Robotics. Waterloo Regional: March 19-21 at the University of Waterloo, Toronto Regional: March 26-28 at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga.
