Onekama's Robotic Team
by Katie, grade 4

Today we learned about robotics. The Onekama Robotics team called the Lake Effects came in. They do a competition every year. Each competition is different. They have been doing it for 3 years. There is a lego league for grades 6-8. The real thing is for high school. I would like to join the lego league when I am old enough.

Today we learned about robotics. You have to be a  high schooler to join the Robotics. To join the Lego Team you have to be in 6th through 8th grade. The robotics last years name was Lake Effects. Last years unit was like basketball. This year they have to make a robot that can throw a ring onto like a spider. You have six weeks to build a robot. The team has fund raisers to help raise money for parts--like the spaghetti diner. You could even win scholarships for engineering. It would be interesting to join the robotics team or the lego team.

Some things I learned when the Robotics team came was that you need to know a lot of math, science, and how to work with gears. The team is called the Lake Effect team. I want to do it when I'm in the 6th-7th-8th grade. This year it's called the Lego Club because you work with legos. I look forward to doing it.

Today we learned about robotics. Robots are neat because you can make them do pracktely anything. They talk and show about a basketball robot. The basketball robot would shoot a ball to make a basket. The basketball robot was in the show last year. This year they have something called Legos for grades 6-8. If you want to be on the Robotics team you have to be in 9th grade. I would like to do this in 9th grade, maybe.

Today we learned about robotics. A team called Lake Effect. They brought a robot in. We got to see it move and shoot balls. It was really cool because engineers come to competition to control it and its kind of like a remote control person. It's made out of metal and I love technology. I might be in it when I grow older. I am pretty sure I want to be in the lego club. It is very interesting. I learned that this morning. ....Louise, grade 4

Today the Onekama robotics team came to talk about their robot. Their robot could shoot balls Their working on this years robot. They have 6 weeks to finish it. After there done they ship it off to another competition. If you do well, you can get scholarships. I'm very interested about the robotic's team and I can't wait till 6th grade! ...Anna, grade 4

Today we learned about our Robotics Team. In the time when they have done these things, I think only one broke from shipping. When the robot gets there the people come and stay for three days! When their there they meet the other contestants. If another team needs something for their robot another team gives it to them. When I grow up I would like to be on their team. ....Alexis, grade 4

Today we learned about lectronic. You have to be in high school when you be on the team. I want to be on the team when I grow up. They supposed to have 12 players on a team. Their team cam in 9th. They lost the game. The camera got hit by a ball and it knocked over on the ground. It was into pieces when the game was over. Tonight they have a spaghetti dinner (before the February 2 ball game to raise money for their club). ...Hailey

Some things I learned about is how they build robots. It shot balls at a certain speed. He told me how they made the gears, and shifts, and the mechines. ...Lawrence, grade 4

Today we learned about robots from the lake effects robotics team. This sport is about helping others. You can go to a great university by doing this. I want to join the lego club. It sounds sweet. I build sweet lego structures at my brother's friends house. I would love to do these things. ...Aaron, grade 4

Today we learned about a robot. The robot shot balls out of the nots. The Robotic Team had six weeks to finish their robot. They said you can do the legos in 6-8th grade. It sounds like it would be interesting to join the Robotics Team. ...Danielle, grade 4

Today the robotics team came to our class. Their team name is Lake Effect. They brought their robot in that they used last year. Then they told us about a lego team that starts in sixth grade. It was very interesting to learn about. ...Megan, grade 4

Today we learned about robotics. On their robot they had these wheels that helped the ball launch out of the robot. I think they said that when the ball launches it goes twenty mph. One of the robotics club members tried to catch the ball. Mr. Neph even tried to catch the ball. It was fun for the robotic club to come in. ...Devin J., grade 4

Today the Onekama's robotics team came to the 4th grade classroom. The 4th grade and the 5th grade learned about robots. They told us about their robot. They told us about the competition. I am interested in joining the team. ...Elijah, grade 4

Today the Onekama Robotics Team came to Mrs. Brown's classroom. He talked about the robot. They made friends with Frankfort. He said it was a math and science job. They talked about the robot. ...Tawny, grade 4
