Did being on the robotics team have an impact on you? How?
Being in robotics had a large impact on me. Before robotics, I had not been very involved at Adams High School. When I signed up for the club everyone welcomed me in with open arms. I didn’t know much about building robots but everyone was very friendly and willing to help me learn. Robotics showed me that there were a lot of fun applications with my math and science skills and that even after high school I could get involved with programs similar to this club.
FIRST Frenzy
FIRST Frenzy consisted of two alliances, each with two teams, that had to pass balls to the human players and shoot them into fixed and moveable goals. They competed to score as many of the balls as possible during the two minute and 15 second match.
There were 26 regional events this year. The championship was held in the Georgia Dome, Atlanta.
