“We are a technology club” says Aldernating Current marketing mentor A.Estrada. That phrase summed up the two robots on display and the photography and video display he created with student help. At Climber Day, 300 sophomores arrived in the morning, picked up their class schedules, and got a tour of the high school. The tours stopped in the Student Union Building (S.U.B.) where a dozen clubs displayed their activities. Our two robots and media display impressed the new sophomores. Over half of the new signups expressed an interest in “Photography and Video”. Others showed interest in Design, Construction, Programming, and Marketing. Thank you Jaeden for updating our Robotics Sign Up form.
The
sophomores also stopped by the mini-dome for a quick introduction to the
student clubs. Shelton High Robotics
Club President Kiery spoke briefly. “We
have two competitions a year and we need people not only to build, but also for
business management, design, marketing, programming, and photography and video.”
Hunter,
Jaeden, and Kiery spoke to students and let visitors drive both “Gingko”, a
small sideways sliding mecanum wheel wonder, and “Ironwood”, last year’s
120 lbs. competition robot. Students designed and
built these robots last year. Coach
Wright, as well as volunteers A.Estrada, A.Hospador, and A.Walker attended and supported the students.
Afterwards the club moved all the tools and robot parts from the robot cage in the auto shop to the weld shop. Shelton High is constructing a 12' x 12' robot closest for the robotics team in the weld shop. This will be large enough for the team to set up a 10' x 10' robotics pit identical to the one the students will use at competitions. This is the very first time the team will have a lockable area large enough for a full pit. The advantage is that all pit crew members will already know the location of everything prior to arriving at a competition.
