Welcome back to the ausTIN CANs blog!
Today I’ll be covering the Open House event that happened last Thursday, where parents got to see what their ausTIN CANs did here at the lab!
First, parents assembled in the gym to watch our robot reveal video, which gave a cinematic look at our robot for the Rapid React season. They also got to see our robot in action, where it shot the game’s cargo to display our shooter and the intake to show off how it will function on the field once competition starts. After a small demo, the parents, students, and mentors moved to the lab.
Once in the lab, parents split up into their kid’s subgroup, where they learned what their CAN does after school. They were given an in-depth presentation by each subgroup leader, and then moved to the practice arena, where they saw our robot compete against another to demonstrate how a match will look in real time. Parents got the chance to see how our robot functions and how their kid contributed to the robot and making sure our team doesn’t flop come competition.
With that, it’s time to bring this blog to an end. See you next time on… the ausTIN CANs!
