After just six weeks of hard work, the Hoya Robotics club at Huntsville High School (HHS) has completed their robot that will be entered into competition on March 2.<\/p>\n

Last night (February 22), the team held a Robot Reveal Dinner at the HHS library. The event included a dinner made by the parents and mentors, a silent auction to help subsidize the cost of competition entry fees, followed by speeches and a cheque presentation from Scotiabank and the Rotary Club of Huntsville. Then of course, the main event: the reveal of Guillotine the robot.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team is a place for kids to be themselves,\u201d said grade 12 student and build captain Samuel Topps. \u201cIt really helps us come out of our shells and gain confidence. Everyone is really open and happy to be a part of it.”<\/p>\n

After everyone finished their dinner, speeches were made by team members Keira Brisebois (team captain), Andrew Johnston (team coordinator) and Riley McEntee (head of communications).<\/p>\n

The mentors and sponsors were then thanked and recognized for all their hard work and generosity as the majority of the material and tools used by the club are paid for by sponsors. However, not all mentors contribute with solely cash. The Rotary Club helped teach the team public speaking skills and Kimberly-Clark helped them with design feedback.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur incredible mentors have helped us with anything from business plans to how to use a screwdriver properly,\u201d said Johnston as he addressed the crowd.<\/p>\n

The team was then presented with cheques from Scotiabank and the Rotary Club of Huntsville. Both presenters expressed their amazement with the team and expressed their support.<\/p>\n

To conclude the night, the robot, or \u201cGuillotine\u201d as the team calls it, was presented. Topps explained how it works, the challenges they will face at the competitions as well as answered questions from the audience.<\/p>\n
