Planned Technical Meeting: Thursday, May 9th - FIRST Robotics Competition Demo at Byron High School

The Byron High School FIRST Robotics Competition team, just back from the Minnesota 10000 Lakes Regional, will fill us in on their experience in this exciting celebration of science, engineering and technology.

We will meet in the Byron High School Commons / Dining Hall at 6:30PM


Agenda:

5 min Overview of FRC and Byron Robotics

5 min Technical stuff on Bot

5 min Lessons Learned

5 min Mentor-ship Opportunities

20-40 min Ultimate Ascent game

There will be a "driver station" and arena mock up setup.

That will allow a few of us to try our luck at scoring within the standard 2 minute period.

The team only has two batteries so will probably run on last about 20 minutes or so.

1887 2nd Ave NW, Byron, MN 55920
