Lake Superior Regional Robotics Competition:

On Thursday, the members of Ripsaw Robotics got to learn about the other teams they were going to compete against and be on alliances with. For the two competition days, we had the chance to see the potential of our robot as we fought to maintain our position near the top of the ranks. Our robot, Bebop, was a dominant force on the gamefield by being a top scorer of each match. On Saturday, qualification matches came to an end and Ripsaw Robotics, for the first time ever, became an alliance captain. As the lead team of the third alliance, we brought our team to a fifth place finish ending the weekend with an abundance of hope for the future of Ripsaw Robotics.




We are officially 3 days away from competition, and we still have much to be done! This week, our goals include:

  • finishing the pit design

  • making stickers, buttons, and keychains

  • organizing food for competition

  • heat pressing team shirts for competition


For this week's meet The Team Spotlights, we have Lilyana Rosen and Patrick Radosevich! Lily has been on the team for 3 years, and is a junior (11th grade). Her favorite thing about robotics is "learning new things and meeting new people," and her hobbies include "everything, idk man." Tommy ia a first-year team member, and is a sophomore (10th grade). His favorit ething about robotics is "chatting with the Joshes" and his other hobbies include "tennis, swimming, cross country running, math team, drumline, and theater." #MeetTheTeam


We would also like to use this week's blog update to shout out some of our sponsors! Thank you to MTech Engineering and Sappi! With their generous donations, we are able to grow and develop as a team. All donations made to 7797 RipSaw Robotics go to robot material and community outreach. Without sponsors, robotics wouldn't be possible! Thank you MTech Engineering and Sappi!


The countdown to competition has officially begun, see you then.
