Falcon Robotics
Hello Utt Falcons! As we have begun the new school year in a very different way, our Competition Robotics season will also start unlike any year in the past. This year's application process will begin by having interested students join the Competition Robotics Application Google Classroom.
Just to be clear, joining the Google Classroom does not mean students are on the team. It means they have entered the application process. Those who complete the process will be interviewed and a final team chosen for the 2020-2021 competition season.
The application process will entail a 5 step process that is explained when you join the Utt Competition Robotics Application Google Classroom.
The Utt Competition Robotic Application Google Classroom code is: sx56pnb
Completed applications will be due by Friday, October 2nd @ 3pm.
Once the Competition Robotics team is set, we will meet via Google Meet once to twice a week after school and begin our engineering design process for this year's Vex challenge "Rise Up." Hopefully in January or a little thereafter, we can begin meeting face to face and starting to build and test our designs.
If there are any questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Kim via email at dkim1@tustin.k12.ca.us
I'm so excited for this new season and look forward to learning and growing with you.
~Mr. Kim
