Pre-Season (Fall 2019)

The team spent the majority of the fall semester training the New Rookies for the upcoming 2019 season. We also attempted to create and design a new T-Shirt Robot, but sadly we were never able to fully realize this goal.

GRITS

The team attended GRITS at Kell High School on November 2, 2019. They played alongside other teams in Georgia and had a phenomenal time. We were able to utilize our newly optimized scouting system and rank 6th place, earning us a spot on an alliance with our Teams 6829 and 4188. While we did not win this one, our rookie drivers got some much needed experience for the upcoming 2020 season.

Fall Outreach Events

Suwanee Day Parade

The team once again participated in the Suwanee Day Parade with a theme focused on STEM in general. With a custom designed banner, the team took to the parade by holding up STEM related signs and passing out candy to the children on the sides. In addition, they used a giant bubble wand to blow massive balloons as the parade float moved along. To top it off, they shot T-shirts out of Jeff and used Genesis to propel beach balls into the crowd. The team's float was awarded an Honorable Mention by the judges.

Duluth Fall Festival

The team also attended the Duluth Fall Festival for the 4th year in a row. Rocking a similar set up as the Suwanee Day Parade, the team was able to shoot even more T-Shirts into the crowd at the Fall Festival. For many rookies, it was their first outing with a team.

Trunk Or Treat

The team did participate in Peachtree Ridge's third annual Trunk or Treat, where students from different schools go from trunk to trunk to trick or treat in a safe environment. This year, the team sported a Jurassic Park themed trunk, complete with a giant inflatable dinosaur.
