Robotics Competition 2007 |
On March 8-10, the Onekama Lake Effect Robotics Team attended the Great Lakes Regional competition at EMU. Fifty-nine teams came to compete from all over Michigan. Teams had 6 weeks to build a robot from scratch, constructing a claw that had the ability to grasp an inflated inner tube and place onto a rack. |
Many robots also had the capability to ramp onto other robots. Points were earned based on the performance of a team of three robots. Team members include Todd Lyman, Matt Berryhill, Trevor Miller, Travis Miller, Tim Veverica, Kristy Sievert, Hailey DeRosia, and Logan Gutowski. |
This competition was an impressive sight with the EMU stadium’s lower deck filled with robotic teams from all over Michigan, including a team from Texas and Ohio, and two teams from Canada. Many of these teams are sponsored by large corporations such as GM, DaimlerChrysler, ExxonMobil, and Ford Motor Company. |
The students on these teams were focused, determined and competitive, while displaying gracious professionalism. Mentors for the team are Bernie Pesko, Jack Miller, Tyler Miller, and Chris Pesko. |
