So today was a crazy day at robotics as I ended up coming an hour early to work our bake sale. It was super icy out and I almost fell walking in! The bake sale looked amazing, everything was so neat and organized, it was fun. I love to be part of the fundraising part of robotics, it reminds me of being a Girl Scout again. After I finished my shift, which seemed to end way too early, I worked with Coach Keith on the Knightly News. We ended up finishing the third episode with a whole blooper reel of Serenity, which was perfect! It turned out pretty good to me, I like working on the Knightly News. It's something that I feel in charge of, and I love learning about technology, even if I kind of stink at it. For lunch, Coach Ann started knocking on the window and scared us all because I thought it was a stranger at first! While we all were working in the marketing room, build came in and basically said, "We are about to do something awesome, get a camera" so everybody jumped up to see what happened. They can lift 120 pounds with a strap and a small motor, for hanging our robot. That's a lot of weight!!! I ended up getting a really good video of it, which I'm gonna upload to our channel soon, so keep an eye out! I guess it was just another normal day with Team 3667! Come to the next bake sale February 4th! Kara is going to make cake pops I hear, I love cake pops... I want a cake pop now haha! More fun things ahead!
The Knightly News from Team 3667 on the 2017 FIRST Robotics build season. Updates on how the team is coping with this years project and ideas from other area teams.
Check out the new 2017 season of the Knightly News.
Last week we had a friendly competition among our VEX teams. A single elimination between the four teams winner take all ($25 gift cards). It was a fast round, each team picking off one of the competitors at a time, until only one team left standing. Congratulation the the winning team of, Evan, Enzo, Ryan & Jared!

One week from today the Knights, along with St. Clair County's other eight teams, will head to Marysville High School for the inaugural Marysville District Event. A total of 40 teams, largely from around the Thumb Area, will spend two days trying to capture the opposing alliance's castle in order to accumulate enough points to qualify for the State Championship in Grand Rapids next month.
All of BWARA's (Blue Water Area Robotics Alliance) teams, including our rookies, have had a great start to their season coming out of their first competitions with impressive results logged at Waterford, Southfield and Kettering. Teams are working to up their game and the event at Marysville should be exciting.
FIRST events are free and open to the public. We hope our followers, as well as those of our BWARA family teams, will pop in for a while on March 25th or 26th to see what high school robotics is all about.
