January is going to be a very busy month for the Robotics students. Parents, please help get your student to these events and help when and where you can.
GSMST is hosting an FTC qualifier on Sat. Jan 16th at the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center near the Mall of GA. This will be an all day event ( 7am - 7pm ). Some of our FTC teams will be competing at this event. Volunteers will be needed. We are working with GEHC and FIRST, but will need some help from parents/staff. If we have enough parent support, other FTC teams may be able to compete at a second qualifier also happening Jan 16 in Buckhead. Students will need rides and supporters in the stands to cheer them on. The remaining FTC teams that don't compete on Jan 16th will have their chance to compete at the Wheeler HS qualifier scheduled for Feb 6th in Marietta.
The FRC Robotics students will not be available to help with the FTC competition on the 16th because they will be under the gun to begin building their robot. The FRC Kick-off is one week prior to the FTC qualifer on Jan 9th at GA Tech. The FRC students will pick up their kit, learn what the problem is for this year and participate in workshops. Some FRC students will participate in the Gwinnett version of the FRC Kick-off at Gwinnett Center.
To finish off the month, our VEX team is scheduled to compete in a qualifier on Sat. Jan 30th at Lambert HS in Forsyth County.
