We haven’t shared here in sometime. Our district has moved away from using this platform for various reasons, and we have more engagement on our FB and IG accounts. If you’d like to follow along with our progress in #Decode and future endeavors, check us out on both, @robovikes.

It’s “Dress Like A Superhero” day here at LaBrae for #redribbonweek. Check out Sam’s costume! He 3D printed and painted the helmet. When asked how he planned to be able to see w/o his glasses, “I have a pair in the helmet.” #cosplay #peterquill #starlord #guardiansofthegalaxy

Some major developments happening at practice these last two weeks! Our drive chassis is finalized and we’ve got a rotating arm with one of our retractable viper kits installed. Working on different sample picker uppers next week, this first design looks good so far!
