Competed in first hockeybot competition with a team
comprised entirely of first year members
Competed 4 beetleweights in local competition and
placed third
Attention on individual education lead to increased
member retention
This year’s goals


Build off last year’s experience to optimize armor design
and component selection in beetleweight and lightweight
robots
Improve new member development with large hands on
robot project (due to absence of hockeybot competition
this year)
