Kickoff & Brainstorming!
January 3, 2009, Kickoff, the day all FIRST students and adults look forward to, occurred this past weekend. MOE gathered together and watched the Kickoff event as a team, going into brainstorming immediately afterwards.
The new game "Lunacy" does seem to be a challenging game, with its simulated low gravity level, and attempting to score moon rocks in opponent's trailers at the same time. Robots really will be hitting each other, will which make this a bit more interesting for human players. 2009 will definitely be an fun-filled year! See you all at the upcoming regionals! |

The Personal Recognition Awards!
|
For the past three years MOE has been awarding those individuals who make FIRST events truly memorable, and yet, never seem to have any kind of recognition. For every regional that MOE attends, we make a few of these special buttons. Then, people who are believed to deserve a button by others at the regional, are presented with one. The person giving the button fills out a simple form and turns it into Pit Admin, so that after the regional, the results are published on our Web site. Check out our 2007 PRA Awards page. |

At the Philadelphia Regional, MOEbius was let loose again and it performed very well. Members helped out other teams in their pits and gave teams awards. We were jumping for joy when we won the Regional Chairman's Award. We were proud that our Pit Lord (Lou Rosanio) was presented with the Regional Woodie Flowers Award. We came up as the second seed in the competition and won the Regional Championship.

On Saturday, March 19, a tragic car accident claimed the lives of two local students and severely injured a third. All students attended the Charter School of Wilmington. On behalf of our team, which consists of several Charter School students, I would like to express our sympathy and offer prayers and support to the family and friends of those involved in the accident.

At the Pittsburg Regional, MOEbius performed better than we even hoped it would. It ran smoothly, capped well and did not break down at all during the whole competition. Our team members had enthusiastically helped other teams in the pits that were having trouble with their robot and gave out awards to teams. We were very happy when we became the number one seed and went all the way to the finals. We also brought home the Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Entrepreneurship Award and Johnson & Johnson Sportsmanship Award. The team (especially the web team) was extremely happy when we recieved the regional Website Award.

3:22 PM EST -- MOEbius, in his MOE green and black crate, left MOE HQ, bound for the Pittsburgh Regional. If a missing student doesn't show up soon, we will just assume that he will appear with MOEbius in Pittsburgh.

It's Valentine's Day, and we're lovin' our robot! MOEbius is in the spirit, if you consider MOE green to be the color of Valentines!

During the Delaware Governor's regularly scheduled community interaction sessions, First State Robotics, Inc. explained the educational initiatives that they have active in the state. Governor Minner was also asked to speak during opening ceremonies at next season's First State FIRST LEGO League event. The probability is high that, if her schedule allows, she may join us. In the photo, Governor Minner shows off a MOE Robotics shirt during this visit with John Larock, MOE's leader.
