As Brunswick Eruption 10 draws closer, it’s interesting to take a look back and see how far we’ve come. This image is what our BE3 announcement page looked like on November 12, 2004. It was hosted on the now-defunct Geocities site.

Bowled Over!

It is here!

The new FTC game for 2011-2012, Bowled Over, teams must “revert” inverted plastic bins and score balls inside them, bonus points given if a bin is stacked higher up (with a ball inside). During the end game teams can try to push a 6 lb. bowling ball up the ramp into the goal for an extra 30 POINTS!

Cannot wait to see the different robots designs, especially to seek out those 12 hidden magnet balls.

Check out the new game here.

ATTENTION NBTHS STUDENTS

The school year begins Tuesday, September 6. And that means a new season for Raider Robotix!

Our first meeting will take place in room 124 on September 14 but take note – there will be no late bus that day. Team meetings will take place in room 124 each Wednesday thereafter, as usual, unless otherwise announced. The Team Calendar is presently up-to-date.

There will be NO Clubfest this year. So if you’re interested in possibly becoming part of the ever-awesome Raider Robotix team then you MUST come to the September 21st meeting and sign up.

We’ve got lots of work to do to make this season our best ever. There are plenty of openings in a variety of areas for smart, talented, motivated students. Come to the meeting on the 21st to learn more.

See you at the meeting!
