Beginning to look like home. Thanks to the muscle of the Fab Four today, (AZ, Myron, Logan, and Cooper) the Robo room is taking shape!

Tomorrow we’re at it again from 1-4pm. Many hands make for light work. Time to rally the crews and get to the finish line!

The largest Robo “rebuild” is well underway. The move to the larger square footage and accessible lab features a room make-over and update. The engine to this move is the students and families.

Lots of progress has been made and lots more work lies ahead.

“Thank you” to the Malaski, Jones, Madsen, Winsor, Lovall, Hill, Bolton, Fowble, Otera, and Benard family crews for their Herculean work.

And, the Robo kids. They’ve stepped up to big tasks as a collective.

To date the room has been cleared of heavy items, walls scrubbed and prepped for painting, workbenches assembled, tool boxes assembled, large robo arenas moved in, parts partially sorted, painting, and more. And, lots of pizza and Happy Meals have been eaten during the process.

Relocating 13 years of equipment is a quite a task. But, the Porta-Botz! look forward to an exciting future!

The old lab will now house “Sleep in Heavenly Peace” doubling their square footage and the ability to serve more Portage families.

Thank you Kevin, Katie, and Cooper Lovall for tackling the assembly of the Robo teams new tool boxes.

The move to the new lab is underway this week, and it’s time for heavy lifting and many hands.

Once completed, it’s onto the building of robots 🤖 and preparing for Speedway Signature!

The City of Portage 4th of July Parade was an awesome celebration! It was a sea of patriotic people and amazing parade entries. Your Porta-Botz! were ecstatic to take part. And, the students and families were honored to receive the “Best Youth Entry”! It was truly a day to remember.

Thank you True North Stables for escorting the Porta-Botz!
