Michigan City Robotics

Michigan City Robotics We are FIRST Robotics Team 3936 located in Michigan City, Indiana. Go RoboBlitz!! Louis.

In 2012, as the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics program celebrated its 20th Anniversary Season, Michigan City unveiled its Rookie Robotics Team. With a dedicated and talented team of high school students, Michigan City Team 3936 earned the prestigious Midwest Region Rookie All-Star Award in Chicago and competed at the 2012 World Championships held in the Edward Jones Dome in St. As part of the Safe Harbor Afterschool Program and Hours for Ours mentoring program, which champion youth-based science and engineering activities in an Afterschool setting, our robotics program was one of three Afterschool programs nationwide to be showcased in the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Annual Report. Building on these accomplishments, we expanded our program to include the FIRST Lego League for Middle School students and the Junior FIRST Lego League for Elementary School students. Utilizing the proven FIRST Robotics suite of programs we are proud to begin inspiring engineers and scientists at the earliest stages of learning and then continuing to guide them through their high school years and on to their future roles as leaders in our communities. The mission of FIRST is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication and leadership. With the support of our community, family members and mentors, the MC Robotics Team strives to build up our community’s children, help develop leaders of the future and provide a safe place for learning and innovation.

What a great day for our Blitz Team to give back to the community! We have been grateful to have received grant funding in the past from Cleveland-Cliffs to support our team. We were able to give back a bit today and be part of the Inaugural “Trunk or Treat” sponsored by USW Local 6787 in Chesterton. What a fun event!!! We gave away all of our candy and made many trick-or-treaters happy!!!

Plainfield Tournament Recap:
35 high school robotics teams met at Plainfield High School for a 2-day tournament. After 70 “3 on 3” Qualification Matches, 24 teams made the Playoffs. MCHS Robotics Team 3936, the RoboBlitz, was selected to be on the #1 (Top Seeded) Alliance team of 3 robots.

Playoff Round 1: Lost 103 to 85
Playoff Round 2: Lost 99 to 95

Kudos to our team who modified our robot with a Blocker Screen (see photo below) to play defense and try and impede scoring by our opponents. They were innovating to the very end!

An amazing turn of events; we have been selected to compete in today’s tournament!!!!

Here’s a photo of just before the start of our last match in Mishawaka this weekend. We scored in Autonomous Mode (pre-programmed computer coded scripted movements of the robot) and by scooping up rings and shooting them into targets, but fell just short of making the playoffs this weekend. We will work hard over the next 3 weeks and prepare for the next tournament at Plainfield HS. Let’s go Blitz!!!

Thanks to all the family and friends that attended to support us this weekend and thanks to our sponsors and grant programs that made it possible. More to come on our funders!
