Robotics
competition season underway
ITT Tech presents check to SHS club
The SHS Robotics
Club is off to a great start for the 2010-11 competition
season. The team participated in the US FIRST (For
Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology) and FRC
(FIRST Robotics Competition) hosted by a ITT Technical Institute
on September 8.
ITT Tech
generously presented Schenectady High Robotics Club with a check
for $6,500 to initiate a FRC team this year. The 31 Schenectady
High School club members and their advisors Mike Gauthier, Tom
Patterson, and Kevin Shannon are ecstatic over the opportunities
this grant will provide for students.
Earlier this
spring, Bechtel/Knolls Atomic Power Lab awarded the club a
generous grant sponsoring a US FIRST FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge)
team at the school. FTC Team 735, the Patriot Gamers, will be
competing in FTC Regional competition in Connecticut and New
York City this spring. This is the third time the KAPL family
has generously supported the SHS Robotics Club.
