On Saturday, February 18th, while most students at Parker were vacationing, Francis W. Parker’s high school robotics team, 3507 Robotheosis, competed in the Chicago League Championship. The team entered the Championship ranked second among 34 teams in the Chicago League. The team was very excited and quite confident in their robot’s ability to succeed due to their 11-3-1 record from the past three Chicago League events.

On Saturday, November 5th 3507 Robotheosis Competed at Francis W. Parker school in the 1st meeting in the North Division of the Chicao League.

Come see us at the Chicago League Championship at Benito Juarez High School on February 18. On October 7, 2016 our school held its County Fair. Each year at the fair each grade hosts one or more booths. These booths range from popcorn and cotton candy to mini golf and robotics. In the past, we have typically run Vex Kit robots. We would typically spend two weeks of our season building these robots and not learning anything related to the FTC build systems and electronics systems. Therefore, this year we decided to make 4 FTC robots. We built a tank bot, omni robot, and two mecanum robots, which were detailed in yesterday's entry. We allowed kids (and some adults) of all ages to drive the robots on this year’s FTC field. The kids had a blast and the parents loved it. While the kids played, we talked to parents about FIRST, about robotics and about how their kids can get involved with robotics. This was very successful as many parents were interested in getting their kids involved in robotics. |
