FRANKFORT — On April 8, students from Frankfort Elementary School faced off in a robotics competition to showcase whose design and piloting abilities were superior.
The students employed robots they built using specialized kits along with 3D-printed components to knock over their opponents' designs. Victory was achieved either by deactivating the rival team’s robot or by maneuvering theirs into a containment pit within the competition area.
The clash marked the pinnacle about a course introducing fundamental concepts of robotics For Sue Hammon’s fourth and fifth grade science and art classes.
The program, created by Quarkmine, a robotics league centered around students Based in Traverse City, this program serves as an entry point into the fields of robot design, programming, and piloting.
Philip Leete from Quarkmine entered the arena where the contest was taking place.
Earlier in the year , fourth-grade students constructed battery-operated fan cars while studying the significance of branding. In the meantime, fifth graders assembled and controlled tiny robotic vehicles to participate in the "Duck Bowl" In February, teams utilized remotely controlled robots featuring specially designed plows to gather and propel rubber ducks inside an arena.
The first three teams from the Duck Bowl secured prestigious spots on the high school robotics squad, Fpro, and accompanied them during their travels. observe a First Robotics contest in Traverse City in March.
