Fall Activities

VEX Robotics Competition

The game in the 2015-2016 season was Nothing but Net.

Robots at the Ridge

We had a blast at our Robots at the Ridge VEX competition on Saturday, November 21st, at Peachtree Ridge High School. We had one of our VEX teams make it to the quarter-finals, but sadly not any further. Of course, at the end of the day, the 2016 Robo Lion members had a blast, made new friends, and some of them can't wait to start year-long VEX! We would like to thank all teams that were in attendance, as well as all the volunteers who graciously supported us throughout the event. We congratulate our award winners:

  • Tournament Champion: Team Woodward (1900R) from Woodward Academy
  • Tournament Champion: Team GMA (1900W) from Woodward Academy
  • Tournament Champion: RoboDragons E (675E) from Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology
  • Excellence Award: Raider Robotics (3536M) from North Forsyth High School
  • Judges’ Award: RoboDragons E (675E) from Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology

Off-Season Activities

GRITS

GRITS this year was held at Walton High School on October 10th, where the Robo Lions were able to score as runner-ups, along with alliance captain 1648 G3 Robotics and 4189 Chargers. The team also took home the Outreach Award, representing with over 25 rookie attendees.

GirlsFIRST Event

On October 17th, 2015 Walton High School (FRC Team 2974) hosted a GirlsFIRST workshop to bond with local robotics teams as well as anyone interested from the surrounding communities. There were engineering contests, guest speakers from women in technology, driver practice with robots from past games, and tons of big smiles! A small group of girls on our team were glad that they got to participate in such an amazing event.

Spring Activities

Parsons STEM Night

The Robo Lions at Parsons STEM Night

On Thursday, February 4th, the team headed next door to Parsons Elementary school for an awesome night of robotics demonstrations! Our new outreach VEX robot made its debut, shooting balls across the cafeteria. Many of the students were eager to bring the balls back and even got to try their hand at driving the robot. Genesis, the 2014 competition robot, served us well once as we watched students jump up to catch the ball. A huge thanks to Parsons for having us and to all of the Robo Lions who helped make this night run smoothly!

Mason STEM Night

Mason STEM Night- Members of the team brought a VEX Robot and the 2014 Aerial Assist Robot to Mason Elementary to participate in a robotics showcase alongside GSMST Robotics and the Mason FLL team. Students were excited to jump up to catch the ball as the robot launched it across the room while others drove the VEX robot. It was really great to see the new members of the team connect with the elementary students, making sure all were safe around the robot and even sharing a dance or two! Prior to the night, students helped judge science fair entries which were also on display for parents that night. We had tons of kids take interest in the robot and we really loved being able to connect the kids’ experiences with robotics to our own robotics experiences!

Burnette Science Night

The Robo Lions at Burnette Science Night

On February 11th, the team attended their first Burnette Elementary’s Science Night. It was great to drive around our 2014 FRC robot and our VEX Outreach robot, as we had lots of interest and answered tons of great questions. We spoke with Ms. Reed, the Principal, about furthering their robotics program, and are excited to continue working with the school!
