 ===GRITS===
-The Robo Lions attended GRITS at Riverside Military Academy on October 22, 2016. They played alongside many other Georgia teams, and they ended qualifications as the 3rd seeded alliance captain. Forming an alliance with Team 2974 (Walton) and Team 4188 (Columbus Space Program), they made it all the way to the semifinals before accepting defeat. They did not go home empty-handed, though. With over 30 rookies, the team was able to take home the Outreach award for the third year in a row and got quite a nifty Portcullis styled trophy.

We finished qualification matches at rank 30, and were chosen by the 8th alliance (Captain {{TBA|5734}} RoboReign and partner {{TBA|5332}}ToasterTech). The Robo Lions put up quite a fight in the first two quarterfinal matches, but didn't quite make the cut. Despite the results of the competition, the team worked through the day with their roaring spirits and hard work! We hope to blow the competition away at our future events with all that we've learned from Gainesville!

 ==Spring 2017: FRC==
 Due to chilly weather and possibility of icy roads/snow, the team opted to hold kickoff at home. Most of the veterans separated themselves by gender and held sleepovers at corresponding houses, eager to watch the game reveal the next morning. 2017 Kickoff brought the reveal of FIRST Steamworks, a steampunk-themed gamed that combines a variety of challenges for each alliance to "power their aircraft" and "prepare for takeoff!"

 ====Raspberry Pi and Vision Tracking====
 On October 15th, the Robo Lions hosted a TE Session focused on helping other FRC teams understanding how to effectively use raspberry pis, which are small single-boarded computers that are used for processing the code that lies within the robot. It was a great experience, and we saw many people there, both new and old. Many concepts such as HSV-based color, contour tracking, and PID control were discussed. The programming team also gave tips on how to use a vision tracking system more efficiently. There was also a Q&A given at the end of the session to address any of confusion. This session was recorded by the RoboJackets; [http://prhsrobotics.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4dfc28ec565342f7298dc7b32&id=1e73f35cb1&e=3ff57b8829 click here] to view a recording.

	The team had a wonderful time at Jackson Elementary for their STEAM night! The 2016 robot was a hit and did a great job showing students and parents how we were able to optimize the ways in which hardware and software can work together! For younger kids, VEX robots are closer to their size, so they were thrilled to have the chance to drive them around to play soccer. Thanks to Jackson Elementary for being such great hosts- we had tons of fun meeting your FLL team as well and can’t wait to work with them!

		+	The team volunteered to entertain the school's assistant principal's son at his 6th birthday party. The fun of the party was fueled by the driving of baby vex robots and the room was filled with children's laughs! It just goes to show that science and technology can be as much fun for high schoolers as it is for the kids!

 On January 24th, 2017, the team was invited to bring their robots to Mason Elementary's STEM Night. The team brought [[Khanquistador]] Robot to use as a tool and help explain vision tracking to the parents and children. At the end, Khanquistador was used to roll boulders towards the kids. We showed the kids what they can look forward to doing in high school, hopefully to gain many more members in the future.

 ==Fall 2016: VEX Robotics==
 As we do in the fall, the team participated in the 2016 VEX Game, [[2016 Starstruck | Starstruck]]. The club was split up into 7 subteams on August 23, and had 12 weeks to build a robot to compete in the game. This year, school was also held off on Election Day, which happened to be one of our VEX Meeting days. An optional meeting was held for teams who still needed that build day.

 ====Effective Social Media====
 On October 29th, we hosted a TE Session that focused on having effective social media. We presented to teams about how to manage social media effectively and how to use each form of social media to its fullest extent. Many FRC teams attended, which enabled us to meet and interact with many people we've never met. We gained insight and perspective from a wide variety of teams, so even though we were hosting the event, we got a couple of things out of it as well.
