Teammates and parents. I have a HS sponsor who would like to see some video
footage of us deploying our Mini-bot. If anyone has this type of footage
please send a file to me. I would ask Joanna but I’m pretty sure she sticks to
still photography.

Thanks Ken for the update and congratulations on such an amazing result! I
would like to see a video of the mini-bot when available.

Team Sponsors:
My Editorial on US FIRST Robotics Competition Nationals held in Saint Louis, MO
last week: In talking with Will Webber I heard our win/lost record for the 10
heat matches was 8/2 and that put us at 12th out of 88 teams in our division.
With the first 8 teams picking their 2 alliance partners that put us 4th on the
list of 80 teams to be picked from. It is unbelievable that out of the 16
teams selected by the top 8, Rockford Robotics did not get selected as an
alliance partner. But “go figure” like any other sport, “the best team doesn’t
always win”. Whether the other teams scouting didn’t have us standing out as a
top candidate, or we didn’t market ourselves well enough to the other teams or
other politics resulted in this misfortune; the team still did a bang up job at
Nationals. Just to say, our mini-bot scored every time we attempted to deploy
it, is a feat in itself. The improvements the team made took the robot to the
next plateau from where we were at during the Milwaukee Regional’s. Great job
Rockford Robotics.
P.S. Sorry if some of you HS sponsors get this twice, but we have been having
firewall problems again, so to insure you’re getting the Nationals report I’ve
sent to your individual addresses.

St Louis National Competition
Rockford Robotics competed with 352 other teams at the US First National
Championship, April 27-30, 2011.
At the national competition, teams are randomly assigned to one of four
divisions: Archemedes, Curie, Galileo, and Newton. The winners of each
division then battle each other for the National Championship.
When we competed at the Wisconsin Regional, our Drivers could direct our robot,
"Loki" to transport transport tubes across the field and place them on the
pegs. However our autonomous mode was not functioning and we could not
consistently launch our mini-bot.
During the following six weeks we redesigned our mini-bot and optimized our
launching system. At the national competition, our autonomous mode worked
consistently and our mini-bot was racing up the pole in less than three
seconds. In fact, the mini-bot scored every time it was deployed.
While we were seeded at fifty-five for our division, by the end of the ten
qualifying matches, we were ranked twelve in the field of eight-eight.
Though we did not make it to the finals, we are proud of "Loki" and how the
team worked together to during this year's build and competition seasons.

In Youth We Trust Grant
The Community Foundation of Northern Illinois' In Youth We Trust Program
recently awarded Rockford Robotics a $2500 grant to promote our organization to
middle school students.
The grant was based on a written application as well as a presentation to the
In Youth We Trust Advisory Council.
The team will use these funds to sponsor workshops in which students can visit
our build site and participate in hands on robot building projects. Our first
workshop is scheduled for May 18. We expect about 75 students from Eisenhower
Middle School to attend.
You can learn more about the In Youth We Trust program on the CFNIL website
