EWEN, Mich. (WLUC) - The robotics team of the Ewen-Trout Creek School District will be heading to Escanaba for their FIRST Robotics competition. <\/p>\n
This is only the second year the Ontonagon County school team has participated. The competition combines sport with hands-on training in science and technology. Students at the school only had six weeks to put together their remote-controlled robot and learn how to pilot it. <\/p>\n
This year, the robots had to be designed relying on steam power, and the team is pretty confident in what they have been able to construct. <\/p>\n
It does exactly what we want, perfectly, FIRST Robotics, Team 5989 member Gentry Brand said. I honestly do not think we'd change anything.\" <\/p>\n
We took two of the three main tasks you can do and got them down to where we could do it, I would say, 99 percent of the time, FIRST Robotics, Team 5989 member Lucas Burrows said. <\/p>\n
The Ewen-Trout Creek team, along with several other teams from across the state will take part in the competition March 16th. For more information on the competition, visit this website. <\/p>\n
