Last Saturday.... DONE.

Its hard to believe we finished the last Saturday of build season for 2015! We are all VERY tired, but also very excited to move on to the regional in Salt Lake City.  Once again, everyone worked hard to finish out strong.

Lack of sleep might have made some of us a little silly.

Coach Keith took a turn driving.... we are going to stick with our drive team.

We won't show any pictures of the robot yet, but we are pretty excited to show it off in Salt Lake!

ONE WEEK LEFT!!!

It seems like this build season has gone so quickly! We only have one week left! We are all working hard as the final hours are winding down!

Here is a picture of our robot!!!  Looks great, doesn't it?!

How do we move these bins?

 How many PrototypeX team members can we fit in an elevator?

This is a team picture we got yesterday.

Good luck on the last week!!

FLL Regionals

Way to go FIRST LEGO League teams! It is always fun to volunteer at regional events. Here are a few pictures of our team helping at the events.

Thanks for letting PrototypeX team members be a part of your experience!

Week One... DONE!

We have finished week one of the build season.  Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to!  Thats right, we aren't showing you anything about our robot! Everything is TOP SECRET!!

We are having a lot of fun!

 We do have a few strategy sessions planned for our mock field.

 We have great parents that are willing to help with anything we need!

We also have the BEST coaches and mentors.

 Only 60 days until we can pull out the pink hard hats at the SLC Regional!!

Happy build season!  The rest is TOP SECRET!

2015 KICK OFF!!!

Recycle Rush!  What?!  The FRC has changed the rules, the robot sizes, and the feeling of the game! We will not really be having a lot of interaction with the robots on the opposing team. This will be a very interesting challenge.  Here we are at our first meeting after finding out what the challenge would be.  The more we planned and talked, the more excited we have become!

Here is a little video showing what FRC has envisioned for the competition.

Happy build season!

Salt Lake City Maker Faire

Our team was invited to participate in Salt Lake City Maker Faire by the Leonardo Museum. This was another fun opportunity for our team to be out in the public and teach people about what we do.  We had a lot of fun speaking to members of the community and helping them run the robot!

We had also had a table out with Legos on it for smaller kids to play and learn more about engineering basics.

The Maker Faire was a lot of fun!

Lessonde Studios

Our team was invited to attend the ground breaking ceremony of the Lessonde Studios at the University of Utah. This was a fun experience for our team members.

We had a couple of issues with the internet when we first got there. Thankfully we have excellent and dedicated coaches that were able to help us get going!

We had the opportunity to speak to new crews, engineering students, and others that are willing to help with STEM related education.

Our team also had the opportunity to listen to a few influential people in the state of Utah, including the president of the University of Utah.

We always have fun showing off the robot. It is fun to get out in the community and talk to people about what we have learned and inspire them to be more interested in FRC. We love our team and we have fun!

 Thanks to those team members and mentors that were able to come to this ground breaking!
