Discovery Day 2013

Our team hosted their annual Robotics Discovery Day, an event where second through sixth graders worked with team members to create robots on December 7th and 8th. We had ninety-two camper’s gather at the technology lab excited to build a robot and drive Nemesis’ 2013 champion robot, Athena.

The younger campers were participated in a Ping-Pong Ball Challenge. Campers created remote-controlled robots that launched ping pong balls as far as possible. Students Ava Blando and Ruhi Dua designed the winning robot that launched a distance of 78.5 inches. Experienced campers completed the NXT LEGO® Mindstorms Basketball Challenge, building robots able to carry and shoot pin-pong calls into a basket using ultrasonic and touch sensors. With a time of 1.17 seconds, campers Luke Delcampe and Gurveer Grewal won the challenge.

We had a great turn out, a fabulous review from parents and the campers can’t wait to come back again.
