3. Robotics 2010 is here. Sign up with Gerald White during advisory or In the Indian Education Office for another successful season of First Robotics. As a rookie team last year, we placed 30th out of 53 teams that were very good, and I think we have an excellent chance of placing in the top twenty for the final competition which we missed last year. Let’s plan on getting our team organized by the first week back to school in January. Being involved in Robotics has many opportunities for scholarships and summer programs. This year, two local schools have entered, Cass Lake-Bena and the Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig School, so we have some local competition.
