2019/2020 Events

STEMley Cup 2019

On November 9th 2019, Morebotics 7623 started a new year with the fifth annual STEMley Cup Championship! This year, the STEMley cup was attended by 29 teams. With our very own robot, Comet, we were chosen as alliance captain number eight. We teamed up with team 4343, MaxTech, and team 1360, Orbit Robotics. We played in two quarter finals matches until we were eliminated after playing against Alliance One which consisted of teams 1114, Simbotics, 7509, Brainstorm Robotics, and 3683, Team Dave. It was a great day and we learned a lot. We look forward to our second year in the FIRST program, and hope to use the skills we learned from being a rookie team to achieve our goals this season.

Morebotics Bake Sale 2019

The second Morebotics Bake Sale was hosted at our school, St. Thomas More Secondary School, just like last year. We baked a variety of treats such as cupcakes which were beautifully decorated, brownies and cinnamon buns. The bake sale was, once again, a success and it raised more awareness of our team.

FIRST Kickoff 2019

The 2019 FIRST Robotics Kickoff was held on Saturday January 5th 2019 at St Mary's Catholic Secondary School. Four teams from different schools participated in the event: MakeShift, BT Robotics, STEAM Team, and Morebotics. Everyone enthusiastically embraced the spirit of FIRST. Anxiousness to find out the challenge as well as excitement for the upcoming season filled the atmosphere. The moment everyone had waited for finally arrived and the challenge was revealed! The 2019 First Robotics challenge is Destination: Deep Space presented by the Boeing Company. All the teams worked together as they read the game manual and identified important details. Kickoff started the teams into their journey through the season, it also was the starting point for the courtesy we will see throughout the season and the skills we will develop.
