Welcome to our 2019-2020 Season

Team and Prospective Students;

Welcome to our 2019-2020 Season. We are a FIRST Robotics Competition Team for the Rochester NY City School District.

We have a lot planned for this Fall to get you ready for our next game Infinite Recharge. Don’t forget to register for our Mini Summer Training Camp 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM August 20, 21, and 22nd at our robotics lab in The Rochester Engineering Center at Edison. We’ll be introducing new students to Computer Aided Design, Java Programming, and Machining along with other team activies. If that’s not your thing come anyway and see what we’re about. Our team needs dedicated students and we guarantee you will learn a lot.

This Fall we are competing at the Ra Cha Cha Ruckus, the Water Challenge, Holding a FIRST Lego League Event and showing off our robots at the Rochester Maker’s Faire. Our first Team Meeting will be Thursday September 12th after school until 7 PM. This season we will be growing the team with more events and focused activities.

FIRST is a lot of hard work, and its much more than just the robots. Though the robots are fun too.

Hope you join us.

RocCityRobotix Website

Team;

Our new website needs work.  Here are the first three action items:

1)  If you haven’t turned in your Photo Release Form please download a copy, get it signed, and turn it in to Mr Holloway.

2)  We need a picture for our header.  I recommend an animated GIF image.  For instance we can hack the text in our T-shirt logo image and make the gears spin.  Maybe make the b go up and down as if it were on a rack.  Please send in your ideas.  If you need help making an animation let me know.  I use a program called gimp.

3)  Our website will need rules.  I’ld like to see the rules written by the students.  Please send in your suggestions.

4) Added 5/21/2017.  Ignore this post.  It’s Old.

5) Added 5/21/2017.   Join our team.  We could use students who want to blog and post and maintain our website.
