It is a Father/ Daughter film where the Daughter is into robotics and the father is a pro football player. We will be involved in the robot competition scenes. Very exciting and a result of all the hard work the team has put in this season. https://nickelodeon.fandom.com/wiki/Fantasy_Football]]><![CDATA[Wildcat5e finishes 9th in the State but just misses qualifying for the World Championship event]]>Tue, 12 Apr 2022 13:26:57 GMThttps://www.wildcat5e.com/news/wildcat5e-finishes-9th-in-the-state-but-just-misses-qualifying-for-the-world-championship-eventWildcat5e finished a successful season last weekend at the State Championship in Macon. After the event, the team finished in 9th place overall for the season with 200 points. It was disappointing to not qualify for the Houston World Championship, but in every other way it was the most successful non-rookie season for the Wildcat5e program. The student accomplishments were significant:
​
-> Finished 2nd at Dalton and won the Industrial Engineering Award
-> Progressed to the semi-finals at Carrolton and won the Engineering Innovation award
-> Advanced to the quarterfinals at Macon and missed advancing to the semi-finals by only 3 points.  Won the Creativity Award

Although the team just missed advancing to the World Championship, what they accomplished has built a solid foundation and set a gold standard for the future. Congratulations to the entire team.]]><![CDATA[We are at Macon and ready to Rock !!]]>Thu, 07 Apr 2022 19:11:19 GMThttps://www.wildcat5e.com/news/we-are-at-macon-and-ready-to-rockTeam is tweaking the robot for maximum performance

Our team ended up with 47 points which puts them at 107 points total - or 5th in the state. Although there is one more regional event next week, it is safe to say we will be going to States. To qualify for Worlds - we have to be in the top ten in points, which means thee team cannot take anything for granted and they will be working hard to improve the robot. 

The team also won the 'Innovation in Engineering Award'
