TEACH Robotics Team Receives Think Award in FTC Tennessee State Championship!
Congratulations to the TEACH "Engineers'
Army" Robotics Team. On Saturday, February 13th,
team won the Think Award in FTC Tennessee
State Championship.
This award is given to the team
that best reflects the "journey" the team took as they experienced the
engineering design process during the build season. The Engineering
Notebook is the key reference for judges to help identify the most deserving
team. The team's Engineering Notebook should focus on the design and
build stage of the team's robot. Journal entries of interest to judges
for this award will include those describing the steps, brainstorms, designs,
re-designs, successes, and those "interesting moments" when things weren't
going as planned. A team will not be a candidate for this award if they
have not completed the section of the Engineering Notebook describing the
team's experience.
Our team is qualified for the Georgia
State Championship which will be held at Southern Polytechnic State University on
February 20th, 2010.

Jackson Morgan, Brennon Bukavics and Andrew Powell Participated at
the regional qualifier. The entire team which includes Ian Fraser and
Michael Penna who have recent left TEACH put in many days and long
hours getting ready for the competition. They had to overcome several
difficult obstacles such as developing an effective ball collection and
shooting mechanism and redesigning the robots gear mechanism just hours
before the competition because the robot was too big and would not pass
inspection.
Congratulations to all the team members and their
Teachers and coaches, Tahir Duzyol, Ali Polat, Mert Gokaya, Beth
Kersey, Tim Fraser for a job well done. TEACH charter High members
