From humble beginnings with only 12 members, the team has grown exponentially to 60 members, with 25 core members.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[Before founding team 4152] I\u2019d been involved in robotics at the board level for a couple of years. The North Bay team came down and showed off their robot and I was intrigued,\u201d McTavish said. \u201cThat first season was a huge learning curve. We knew absolutely nothing. We set this goal that each year, we would learn a little bit more. I\u2019m watching the impact on the students and my own children, and it\u2019s so valuable.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Team 4152 is ranked 18th out of 198 teams in all of Ontario. The team\u2019s award roster is impressive. They have won 15 awards over the past five years, notably first place at the 2022 FIRST Ontario Championship and the creativity award at the ONT District Georgian competition that took place March 3 to 5. In the team\u2019s 11-year history, they have won an award at every event in which they have participated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt blows my mind how far we\u2019ve been able to come from those first days,\u201d McTavish said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Team 4152 has also formed the Trillium Alliance with Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, and Fenelon Falls and together, they participate in activities, practice matches, and outreach in the community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the attendees were the team captain Wilson Trenholm, the team driver Will Tempest, and the main programmer Will Zammit, who earned a spot as a finalist for the Dean\u2019s List at the recent Georgian competition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trenholm has been the team captain for three years and says that the main purpose of his role is \u201cto make sure everyone has a job, teach as much as I can, and steer everyone in the direction of learning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/Robot-E.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134135\" width=\"476\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/EmdpomFW-Robot-E-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/Robot-E-451x600.jpeg 451w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/Robot-E-324x432.jpeg 324w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/Robot-E-630x839.jpeg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/Robot-E.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 476px) 100vw, 476px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stinger, the 2023 robot designed by Hoya Robotics<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>2023 marks Tempest\u2019s fourth year on the team and he is eager to compete this season with Stinger the robot. Tempest stated the team first started working on Stinger during the first weekend of January and the robot was completed within six weeks. The Georgian ONT District was Stinger\u2019s first competition and Trenholm said that now the team is starting to make improvements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team builds a different robot for every season, each programmed to perform a particular task. Last year, the team\u2019s Ontario Provincial award-winning robot, \u201cTerry the Pterodactyl\u201d was programmed to climb and shoot tennis balls, and this year, Stinger\u2019s task is to pick up pylons and inflatable balls and place them on a post or surface. At competitions, the team scores points for each time the robot is able to perform these tasks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a totally different type of challenge this year, and that\u2019s part of the fun of it. You have to start from scratch and go, \u2018how would this work?\u2019\u201d said McTavish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McTavish and the team garner interest in robotics among youth by performing demonstrations at local schools and various community events such as the Huntsville Fall Fair. They also do lego robotics at elementary schools and a program called TechnoGirls, where female students learn coding and other hands-on technological activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is these extraordinary initiatives that are responsible for the presence of many of the members on the team. Both Trenholm and Tempest witnessed McTavish and team 4152\u2019s demonstrations at their elementary schools, which was the catalyst for their passion for robotics and their dedicated involvement on the team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what ultimately made me decide that I wanted to get involved in robotics,\u201d said Trenholm. \u201cI\u2019ve always had an interest in Aerospace Engineering and this has got me into the engineering side of things. It is one of the only schools in our area that has a technology side to it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the hard work and dedication of McTavish, and the team members and mentors, HHS has become known for its exceptional robotics program, from courses on designing robots and computer programming to offering workshops for teams across Ontario.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team&#8217;s main programmer Will Zammit supports these sentiments and speaks from personal experience when he says that HHS\u2019s robotics program is one of the best there is, not only for technological opportunity and advancement but for character growth and development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI actually came to HHS specifically for the robotics team,\u201d Zammit said. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to do this as a child and I\u2019m finally able to do this at Huntsville High with team 4152. When I look at those on the team, I can see them develop not only their skills but other skills like social skills and leadership skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the speech segment of the evening, McTavish and parent volunteer Alison Dumont delivered heartfelt speeches expressing their devotion to the team and their admiration for its values.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis past weekend, at my first robotics competition, the things I witnessed solidified my commitment to this team,\u201d Dumont said. \u201cI saw the team\u2019s values in play in the way the teams jumped at the chance to help each other out when one was in crisis. It\u2019s through this type of collaboration that young brilliant minds will be able to reach new heights together, to solve real-world problems. I witnessed a culture of inclusiveness, in the way that the different grades, genders, sizes, shapes, colours, interests all accepted and were just comfortable with one another&#8230; I care immensely about what their involvement with these robots brings to their precious lives as individuals, as community members of this high school and of this town, and best of all, what it brings to their lives as future world changers.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McTavish expressed the same feelings towards the team and made it very clear how proud he was of their accomplishments. He also asserted how crucial the mentors of the team are to its success. McTavish awarded team mentor Sam Topps with the Excellence in Mentorship Award, which will furthermore be called the Topps Family Excellence in Mentorship Award, for his immense show of dedication and support for the team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McTavish concluded the speech by expressing his gratitude to the team\u2019s various sponsors and the gracious support from members of the Muskoka community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe community support and the sponsors make this a reality for us. Without that, we wouldn\u2019t have had these amazing opportunities,\u201d McTavish said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hoya Robotics team 4152 sponsors include Kimberly Clark Huntsville, Seals for Life Industries, Rotary Club of Huntsville, Trillium Lakelands District School Board, Trinity United Church, Home Hardware Building Centre, Panolam, ProActive Rehab, Blackburn Industries, Huntsville Bowl, Gangnam Korea, as well as parents, community members. and various other local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/McTavish-Edited-697x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/hwPEFGLa-McTavish-Edited-204x300.jpeg 204w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/McTavish-Edited-697x1024.jpeg 697w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/McTavish-Edited-409x600.jpeg 409w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/McTavish-Edited-294x432.jpeg 294w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/McTavish-Edited-630x925.jpeg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/McTavish-Edited.jpeg 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">S<em>am Topps receiving the Excellence in Mentorship Award and Ian McTavish<\/em>&nbsp; (Photo: Hilary Hilton)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/Three-people.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/pTcVzgmb-Three-people-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/Three-people-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/Three-people-324x432.jpg 324w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/Three-people-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/03\/Three-people.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From left: Will Zammit, Wilson Trenholm, Ian McTavish with Stinger the robot.
