This weekend, the robotics team competed in its first competition of the season at H.H. Dow High School in Midland. Throughout the weekend, the team encountered difficulties and learned to problem-solve so they could show up to each match with Karl (robot) ready to give it their best. The students learned a lot and enjoyed competing, ultimately bringing home the Rising All-Star Award. The Rising All-Star Award celebrates the team that has persisted through challenges, despite the difficulties of being young.

Thank you to Brian and Cole.
We appreciate everything you do to keep our facilities safe, operational, and looking their best. On the days when the rest of us are warm at home, you're out in the cold clearing snow, making sure our schools are ready. Thank you for your dedication, hard work, and for being the heart of our district – even on snow days!

Please forward this survey to anyone that may be interested in preschool programming for 3 or 4 year old children next school year.

Bath High School Robotics Team Update:
This season, we were selected to receive a Swerve Bundle donation from CTR Electronics and West Coast Products. This donation includes parts to build and use a swerve drive, rather than the tank drive we used last season. Building the swerve drive would allow us to achieve superior maneuverability and the ability to apply full power in any direction. This donation includes parts that would cost us more than four grand on our own.
We started off the season by attending a kick-off event at Laingsburg High School, where three schools and more than 80 students participated and watched the game reveal for this season.
We are currently waiting to receive our swerve drive bundle donation, as it hasn't arrived yet. In the meantime, we are working on building the top portion of our robot, and we hope to attend a workshop next weekend to pick up and build our swerve drive.
