St. Anthony Village High School’s Medtronic RoboHuskie Team 2574 placed 30th at the national championships April 14-17 in Atlanta, Georgia. RoboHuskie Team 2574 qualified for the national competition after earning first place at the Milwaukee regional competition in March.
Medtronic RoboHuskie Team 2574 is St. Anthony Village High School’s US FIRST Robotics Challenge team. FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is a worldwide program devoted to inspiring the world’s youth to be technology and engineering leaders by hosting hundreds of robotic competitions to encourage science, engineering, and communication skills. FRC enables students to incorporate these skills and develop a robot that can accomplish specific tasks established each year through the challenge. Students have a six week time period in which to design, build, and market their robot based on the challenge. This year’s robot was constructed to move around a field, go over 13.5 inch bumps, and score goals. The 2008 St. Anthony Village High School RoboHuskie team placed 9th at the Wisconsin competition, earning the distinction as the highest seeded rookie team out of approximately one-hundred teams.
