On January 12, 2014, Shelby and Alex went to support Mathew, their fellow robotics member, with his Venture Crew's "Scrimmage Day"!
Venture Crew is an organization similar to Boy's Scouts, except that each team picks the projects they want to work on. Mathew's group decided to focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) topics. Venture Crew teamed up with the Baltimore City Robotics Center (located in the same building as the B&O Railroad Museum) to host a scrimmage for VEX U competitors. At the event, two full VEX U fields were set-up. We also had fun playing with a helicopter and a Sphero, which is a remote control ball that is controlled using an iPad!
Congratulations Mathew on having a successful event! We were happy to be there to support you and cannot wait for more activities between Retriever Robotics and Venture Crew!
