The Turpinators are the Regional Champs!
April 16-21, the Turpinators will be in Houston for the FIRST Championship. There are two Festivals, one in Houston for the southern teams in North America and half of the worldwide teams. The other festival is in Detroit for the northern North American teams and the other half of the worldwide teams. We will be presenting just like at the Regional.
There are three different presentations:
There are three different presentations:
- A Design presentation about the robot, where the students show the thought and planning that went into building and designing the robot to do the various missions on the game table
- A Project presentation, which is kind of like a Science Fair project. Our team researched and built prototype glasses for astronauts to use in micro-gravity when the fluid pressures change in the human head causing rapid eye prescription adjustments.
- A Core Values presentation about how the team conducts itself in a professional and "cooperation" mode which is respectful to opponents and each other while also having a great time and pushing for excellence in the competition.
