Our robot shoots at a very impressive rate.

Sussex Mini Regional

The 2020 competition season has begun! Our robot started off strong just last weekend with a powerful showing at the Sussex Mini-Regional. Though we finished building last Friday, our robot performed extremely well and was able to launch game pieces into the scoring port from across almost the entire field!

By no means is the work finished - we’ve learned a lot about how we can improve the robot from our experience at Sussex. From here, we’ll work on our climber for extra points in our endgame, give as much time at the controls to our drive team for practice, and we’ll work on improvements to prevent any possible jams in the robot.

Open House

Our Open House on February 17th was also a tremendous success. Kids were able to see our robots from this year and our World Champion finalist ‘bot from last year, and even had the opportunity to drive our practice drivetrain. Some of our amazing sponsors even showed visitors their company products, like COAPT’s prosthetic hand. The Milwaukee Bomb Squad showed off the bomb-stand Team 930 designed and fabricated for them, too. Fantastic local Lego League teams also showed off their incredible work from their 2019-2020 season. The turnout was fantastic and we wanted to thank the community for coming to see us.

Rebranding

Finally, the business team here at Team 930 has been working diligently to revitalize our appearance. We are hard at work developing our branding guide and implement standardization. As our team changes and grows, our logo needs to keep up. We’re so proud to finally reveal our new logo!
