Steel Hornets Robotics Team Update<br />
Have you ever thought building a robot might be an intriguing and fun activity to take<br />
part in? Fifteen <strong>high</strong>ly dedicated <strong>Emmaus</strong> student have, and they participated in the 2010-2011<br />
<strong>Emmaus</strong> Steel Hornets Robotics team!<br />
This year’s team participated in seven state competitions and was a finalist at three. The Steel<br />
Hornets traveled to several states including New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut to compete in<br />
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics competitions. After<br />
every event the team spent hours working diligently to repair and improve their robot. In the end,<br />
their hard work clearly paid off. The team came home with a winning finalist award and two PTC<br />
Design awards for engineering and CAD design.<br />
Throughout the season, team members met with local engineers from Lutron. The team formed<br />
lasting relationships with members of the engineering<br />
community. Although the competition season is currently<br />
over, the robotics team is not done yet. Presently,<br />
the Steel Hornets Robotics Team is delving into<br />
more community service programs, such as “adopt a<br />
<strong>high</strong>way.” The team is also planning a mini golf outing,<br />
which will be open to the public and is to be held<br />
in mid May. The team is also looking to host a formal<br />
golf outing, which will be held in October.<br />
Stay tuned for more information on these upcoming<br />
Steel Hornets events! If your son or daughter has any<br />
interest in being apart of the 2012 or other future<br />
robotics team, contact Mr. Bradley.<br />
