Robotics

Hello Human!:
Zuhair Mirza and Luke Daniel work hard to try to attach an extendable arm to the base platform of the robotics’ teams robot. The team of 13 have  been working for over two months now, and have run into a few problems along the way, but they have slowly overcome them. They will have a competition in early 2025 using their robot to collect small samples and use them to score. “I think it’s really good so far this year, and we got a good head start because we had the base already kind of built,” said Dr. Timothy Naginey, one of the leaders of the robotics team. As he said, the team did have a head start using a pre-built base from last year's competition, however the arm has been the major problem so far, as it is currently being held on by “a wish and a prayer,” as some might say, or as the rest of the group calls it “some zip ties and duct tape.”  Despite this, the team still has high hopes and continues to work as the deadline for the competition nears, with the first on Jan. 18 in Harrisonburg and the second on Jan. 26 in Bassett.
