Care to do so?

Outreach

Suwanee Parade

2017 STEM Heroes of Suwanee: the Robo Lions!

On September 17, 2016, the Robo Lions marched valiantly through Suwanee, donned with masks and heroic capes. This year's parade theme was "Super Suwanee, Super People!". The team took home the "Most Entertaining Group" award from the judges.

Duluth Fall Festival

On September 24, 2016, the Robo Lions attended the Duluth Fall Festival once again. They shot t-shirts and beach balls with the assistance of Jeff and Genesis from the back of their parade float. The event was filled with fun, excitement, and thunderous pride as our team took to the streets cheering about our love of STEM. We made lots of new friends and connections within the community, as it stands as a memory that will never be forgotten. We used our superhero theme from the Suwannee Day Parade, and everyone fulfilled their roles of being superheroes beautifully.

Maker Faire

On the weekend of October 1-2, some of the Robo Lions set up and maintained a booth at Maker Faire Atlanta.

Color Run at the Ridge

On October 19, 2016, the Robo Lions were invited to kickoff the Ridge Color Run by shooting colorful flour out of Jeff the t-shirt robot. See How to: Color Run Preparation to see how we succeeded in doing so.

TE Sessions

Raspberry Pi and Vision Tracking

Effective Social Media

School Events

The Robo Lions attended many events hosted at PRHS during the fall. This includes, but isn't limited to, the home football games, the Asian American College Fair, and Ridge Run. At most of these events, the Robo Lions showcased Jeff the T-Shirt Robot.

Trunk or Treat

The team did have a trunk at PRHS's second annual Trunk or Treat, where kids go from trunk to trunk, trick or treating in a safe environment. The team's trunk was a Star Wars based trunk, showing the cockpit view of the Millennium Falcon. The team showed off the VEX outreach bot, Kobe.

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.

VEX Qualifier: Robots at the Ridge

The VEX Qualifier: Robots at the Ridge was held at PRHS on November 19. Over 50 teams from over Georgia, with some coming from as far as Knoxville, Tennessee. They all gathered to take place in the 2016 VEX Game, VEX Starstruck. One of the 1261 Subteams made it to quarterfinals, but sadly did not go past that. Still, it was a great event overall, and all students enjoyed their time there! We also had many people stay after and clean up, which helped us clean up the entire school commons in only an hour!
Congratulations to our first place winners:

Captain: 3921B "Beta" from Carrollton, GA
1st pick: 1961E "South Forsyth Eaglebots" from Cumming, GA
2nd pick: 7201P "Marist Penguins" from Atlanta, GA

We also congratulate the following award-winning teams:

Excellence Award: 675E "RoboDragons E" from Lawrenceville, GA
Judges Award: 31415R "Domo Arigato" from Cumming, GA
