TRICK OR TREAT
STREET
robots taking over
F
our years worth of competition, brought to one parking lot. Junior Rhys Hanson, and the robotics club brought their A game for 2021 Trick or Treat Street and made sure it was good. “Last year we sent a fairly small team and so this year we decided to go all out in whatever manner we could to showcase that we had a lot to offer as a team. We brought multiple robots from four different years of robotics competition but the one we were most excited about was our 2020 FIRST Robotics Bot,” Hanson said. Rhys and his fellow club members followed 3 around the robot to make sure it did its job. Dressed in a white paper holding its candy bowl, the robot lit up green. “We covered it in a large sheet of paper and used the integrated safety light that we are required to have to compete and the camera system targeting light to light up the paper,” Hanson revealed. The complication they went though to use what they were required to have to compete for Best Robotics Bot title helped them become the light of the show, literally. Making the robot shine in the night made the dark cold night, not seem so horrible. “We love to engage people however we can with our work so that we don’t seem like anti-social and uninteresting which is what we are frequently stereotyped as. We hope to continue with this method of engagement through demonstrations of what we can do!” Hanson said. Being in a club that is cliqued as nerdy seems to pay off as people see the shining robot handing out candy, bringing smiles to the new comers of the high BOT CONTROL school. As the community came together that night, Junior Rhys Hanson and the Robotics Club drive around robotics came through. the robot to hand out the candy and interact differently.

Making it indoors would have better better because it gets cold out that time of year.

TWO BUMS
Senior Keagan Lafferty and Junior Alex Miller, two ski bums, give kids candy. Sitting in the back of Lafferty’s car playing music for trick or treat street was a treat in itself. “Alex had just came from skiing and he didn’t have time to get a costume so I went as a ski bum with him,” Lafferty said. photo by c. neumier
