The Jr. Mini Mountie Megabots had their FIRST LEGO League Robotics competition last October. They had an awesome season creating an energy efficient city (with a moving carousel and windmill) and took home the prize for Problem Solving Superstars!
The Mini Mountie Megabots finished at the State Championship in Mason before break. The team did very well and took home the 2nd place Innovation Award!

FRC Lift Update 2/6/2023
Autonomous IVD (NWHS)
In the past few weeks we've been working on our new 3D printer, our jeep trailer, and our driving system. After some work, the 3D printer has started printing correctly which will be important as we continue to prototype new ideas. The jeep trailer is going to be covered in a waterproof nylon fabric to protect it from any weather we may see at the competition. The driving system includes getting a working steering setup to complete our competition tasks.
