Outreach

We just wanted to thank the teachers and students from Will James Middle School and Big Sky Elementary School for letting us come and present to you about engineering and robotics.  We loved presenting and building paper towers with you!  You were great!

Check out our website for an outreach page that is coming soon; we'll put up some great pictures and video of our presentations.

Qualified for State!

The Belgrade qualifying competition was a great start to the FTC season! There were a lot of well designed, competitive robots there, but we managed to take 11th place to qualify for state. The state competition will be held on Friday, February 1st at Montana State University Bozeman.  See you there!

FTC Season 2012-2013

We're about a month into the 2012-2013 FTC challenge Ring It Up!, and some things have changed since last year.  Check out our updated Team page to see who has joined our team this year!  We will try and update our Robot page soon, but as always, most of our time is dedicated to building our robot.  Also, we wanted to thank all of our sponsors: The Billings Career Center, Toasty Designs, CTA, and HDR.  We appreciate your support more than you will ever know; thank you!!

Seven teens on a Girl Scout team built the robot, which is pushing, scooping, lifting and driving its way toward a world championship robotics tournament in April.

The team, made up of high school students from the Billings Career Center's Engineering Club, already captured the most prestigious prize at the Montana robotics tournament in Bozeman in early February.

Thank You RMB

Thank you Rocky Mountain Bank for giving us such a generous donation! We enjoyed presenting to you!

Welcome to NemoNoid's Blog

After winning in Bozeman, MT

This blog is designed to keep you up to date with the Artificial Intelligence Team.  We will be blogging about the changes made to Nemonoid and monitor our progress prior to the competition.
     
After competing in Bozeman, Montana on February 3, 2012, we won the Inspire Award, the most prestigious award given out by the judges, and placed 2nd overall.  Because of the Inspire Award, we automatically have an invitation to World Championships in April in St. Louis, Missouri.  Check our blog often for more updates!
