S-E victorious in Rite Aid Drug Quiz Show finals
NORWICH – The Chenango County F.I.R.S.T (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Team, sponsored by Norwich Pharmaceuticals, Inc., joined 49 other teams at the Fingerlakes Regional Competition in Rochester March 6 and 7.
Although team #145 didn’t make it to the top spot, their robot “Theory” performed above their expectations. The game “Lunacy” that swept FIRST teams nationwide in January, was the most challenging game since its inception in 1989.
Dave Sheldon, Team Mentor, said, “We met the primary objectives of creating a significant increase in student interest in science, technology, engineering and its application. It clearly demonstrates that FIRST is more than about robots. It is a life-changing experience—and a lot of fun.” Gracious Professionalism is also a part of the philosophy of FIRST. It’s a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community.
WSKG TV, a PBS affliate from Binghamton, joined the team at the competition to film their progress from beginning to end. Their production will focus on a number of initiatives including STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and FIRST, with an initial air date of late
April or early May. They had previously spent time with the team, taping a small segment at Norwich High School during the build season, and were impressed with the process of building the robot, and the way the team worked together towards a common goal.
The team would like to thank sponsors, Norwich Glass, The Balloon Detail, B&D Pool and Spas, Frontier, Golden Artist Colors, Norwich Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and the Chenango County Law Enforcement Association for their support, as well as all the people that supported individual students. The team is currently planning future robotics presentations and an awards ceremony. For more information on FIRST, visit the team website at www.trx145.net or the US First site at www.usfirst.org.
