Robotics season is starting and new members are welcome, says Robotics Sponsor Joe Minnick.
The first pre- season meeting was Sept. 29. Meetings take place every Thursday after school in the engineering room.
So far approximately 30 students have joined.
The Robotics team builds a new robot each year to enter into competitions. This year’s competition task is a surprise, Minnick said.
The robot will be built during the winter months and have its first competition in January.
Freshman Jacob Williams said he joined Robotics this year as a way for him to express his creativity and show his artistic visions.
Senior Erica Mickens is engineering-marketing captain this year. This is her fourth year with Robotics. She says, “I look forward to seeing students joining, and there’s more to robotics than just building.”
