It has taken 5 years, loads of hard work, and a dedication to helping others, but there is a blue banner hanging in the Boneyard! Boneyard Robotics won the Chairman’s Award at the Wake County District competition on March 10, 2019.
We are so very excited to be recognized for reaching out to others and serve their needs while making the Boneyard and FIRST a more inclusive place.
Our mentors are manning the quiet room (we call it the Quiet Space to go along with this year’s theme) at all NC FRC competitions this year. It’s something we developed with a Certified Advanced Autism Specialist to make sure we were able to meet the needs of our neurodiverse population. In space, noone can hear you scream. At NC FRC events, EVERYBODY screams! That can get a bit overwhelming for some folks. If the noise, lights, and action has you stressted, please stop by the Quiet Space, relax for a few minutes, de-stress, then go back out refreshed.
Remember, there’s room for everybody in the Boneyard!
Here is the 2019 Game Manual. Please download it to your own computer and bring it with you to the big kickoff on January 5th (details of that on TeamApp). We get the code to open the manual at the end of the big reveal. See you there!
Hey guys! We got a lot done today (wooohoooo!!) Here’s what we did:
We made a group chat (definitely not to share memes ;). We also prepped to present our Stop The Bleed event with a skit/powerpoint.
We just finished our course in Java (yay!) and they all ran perfectly (mostly). Can’t wait to work with you all!
We had a test today (boo!!) on identifying the different parts of a robot. Fingers crossed that
You are invited to come learn all about the Robotics Experience (aka everything we “old” parents WISH someone had told us!!) while your child is meeting with the teams over the next few weeks. We will cover topics such as:
Interested? Then come join us at 7 PM at South Central High School (room location TBA) on the following Tuesdays: 9/25 and 10/2
