E-Waste Date is Announced!
Introducing Encore & LA Regional Recap!
On behalf of the Greybots, we would like to introduce to you Encore! After a lengthy build season and strenuous nights after build at shop, the Greybots are proud to present their new addition to the family. All of our students, mentors, and parents have put in many dedicated hours to this great robot. As of right now, Encore has been proving itself winning the Industrial Design Award sponsored by GM and being a Finalist at the LA Regional. Even though we didn't snag the gold, we are all very happy with the performance of the bot.
Conclusion of the 2012 Build Season
Drop your tools, grab your bags, and seal it all up. The longest 6 weeks of your life has just concluded. Take a deep breath and realize that is over. Grab your mentors, teammates, and parents and thank them for all of the time they have given up for this. These past 3 weeks have been very stressful, hectic, and time consuming for the entire Greybot team. However, everyone on the team is very satisfied with what we all have accomplished this year. It is amazing to see a team with only 24 students work their buts off to complete a robot like this in that allotted time. Also, you may be concluding your build season for the rest of this year but the Greybots will be hard a work come this weekend to make sure that the bot is working order.
