SEASON UPDATE
The AdamBots had two major events this December. First, we walked in the annual Rochester Holiday Parade on December 6th along with the FEDS, from Rochester High School, and the CyberCats, from Stoney Creek High School. The AdamBots received two police robots, Sarge and Sarge 2, from the Rochester Police Department at the beginning of the school year, and engineering team members and mentors refurbished the robots so they could be used in the parade. The robots were decorated to fit the theme of Frosty the Snowman, and students marched alongside them carrying banners and candy canes. The teams had fun marching in the parade and were able to raise awareness of STEM and FIRST.
Additionally, after interviewing for leadership positions, the student leaders for the engineering and business sub-teams were announced. Congratulations to all the team leaders! Student leadership is valuable to the experience of building the FIRST robot, and leading allows the students and mentors to form the important professional and personal partnerships that are the cornerstone of the FIRST mission.
The AdamBots are looking forward to the reveal of the 2016 game, which will occur on January 9th at 10 am. The link to the live broadcast will be on the FIRST website. FIRST Robotics Competition teams around the globe will have a six week build season to design, fabricate, and test a robot based on this game before competitions begin. We are excited for the challenges this season will bring!
