Duel on the Delaware a Huge Success!
The Duel had a huge turnout yesterday and was a ton of fun! We had 34 teams come out to compete and a lot of awesome volunteers! MOE made it to quarterfinals after breaking down further and further every match, our comp team did very well. Congratulations to Velocity 5420, Miss Daisy 341 and SaBOTage 1640, champions of Duel 2016! Big thanks to all of our volunteers and our co hosting team, South Jersey Robotics and 316 LuNaTecs and event coordinator John Larock! Also, our fundraising activities were very successful, collecting 11,318 pounds of books for our Success Wont Wait Book Drive, team 271 Mechanical Marauders being the winner of MOE’s Book Drive Award. Our bake sale raised over $1100, possibly breaking the record! Thanks to all those who donated and were in charge of those. Congratulations to the winner of the Mike Wade Duel Master Volunteer Award, Kevin McKay from Team 5401 Fightin’ Robotic Owls! So many great things from the Duel as always! GO MOE

Peach Festival a Great Success!
Today, MOE volunteers and parents spent the day spreading the word of FIRST, demonstrating CaMOElot’s skills to the public and selling a boat load of Horsey Foundation raffle tickets to raise funds! The festival itself was awesome as well and we greeted FRC Team Thermogenesis. Great job team, another very success year at the Peach Festival, very grateful for those that made it happen.

Yesterday, MOE volunteers mentored a team of little kids to create their own shirts, cheers, and prepare their own vex bot for battle! The results were ADORABLE! Spreading the word of FIRST is not only an educational, but exciting experience for both our students and the little ones.
