Zebra Robotics Milton

We're in for an early spring! At least that's the consensus according to Wiarton Willie from Ontario, Snerd from North Carolina, Lady Edwina of Essex from New Jersey, and of course Punxsutawney Phil from Pennsylvania. (Ms. G also concluded an early spring, thanks in part to help from the local community.) However, Balzac Billy from Alberta and Van Isle Violet from British Columbia both predict six more weeks of winter.

As a result, we at Zebra Robotics feel confident in saying all but our Albertan and British Columbian locations will see no more snow and no more wintery weather. Surely these cute little fellas can't be wrong.

We are once again gearing up for another STRIPE competition this March. Stay tuned for more details and maybe even some info on challenges.

Team 4047--Mehnaces did an incredible job this weekend both on robot runs and their impactful project. They won a robot design award and will continue to pursue next steps on their project idea in the subsequent months. Well done teams!

Team 16539 Music Marshmallows win 1st place innovation project award at the Ontario west provincials. The team faced an incredible amount of challenges, from failed motors to failed sensors and failed bricks. They were resilient and persevered.

This weekend will see both our teams, as well as the Milton Christians School's team, heading off to the provincial finals. The teams are incredibly excited for the finals and have been working hard in preparations for the competition. We wish them all the best, and if you see them before the competition, wish them good luck!

We'd like to congratulate the Cary teams Masterminds (60407), Steam Machines (60408), and Robo Duckies (62361) for their performance at the FLL State Championship yesterday. All teams worked incredibly hard to make it to the State Championship, and they showed off their exhaustive efforts throughout the day. They learned a ton from the experience, and their appetite for competition has only grown. Especially for team Masterminds who will be going to the FLL Internationals soon. Stay tuned for more information on that!

We'd like to congratulate Team Parsec, 3505E, for finishing 2nd in the Sudbury regionals yesterday! With their performance, they moved from the 27th position to the 13th in the Ontario Skills Ranking, which we find incredibly impressive. They achieved this through hard work, having rebuilt their robot, programmed the driver, and finished the automation all during their holidays. We are very proud of their incredible progress, and we know going forward they will continue to shine!

This Saturday marks several of our teams heading off to competitions once more. Canada's team is heading off to Sudbury regionals, while Cary's teams are heading off to their finals! We wish them the best, and we encourage everyone to wish them good luck if they see them in the halls of Zebra.

Happy New Year everyone!
