Robots in the Rockies

The chapter held its monthly luncheon in April at the U.S. Air Force Academy Falcon Club. The highlight of the luncheon was a presentation and demonstration provided by Team 662, Rocky Mountain Robotics. The team is made up of 96 students from six different high schools in Colorado Springs District 20. These students were an inspiration to all who attended to see the impressive presentation. They explained how they organize like a real business to design, engineer, manufacture and operate robots that solve stated game objectives over a six-week period. This year's game was named Recycle Rush and required a robot to retrieve and stack several recycling bins. Members of Team 662 say they build people who build robots and encourage students to reach as high as they can dream. These young people clearly showed that they are fulfilling that goal.
