Western Wayne / Honesdale HS Robotics Team Wins ChampionshipApril 18, 2024 This April the robotics team FRC 4285 Camobots (composed of Honesdale HS and Western Wayne HS students) competed at the FIRST Mid-Atlantic Robotics Competition Regional Championship and won. This is a huge endeavor and first-ever win at the FMA Regional Championship held at Lehigh University. The competition is three days (starting with inspection of the robot by teams of engineers, scouting of robot qualities, randomly competing with and against numerous teams, presentation to judge teams of CEO’s and engineers from companies, and finals team selection on the 3rd day). Our team was the 3rd selection of Alliance 2’s team. Our team had to play defense to shut down the other team’s top scoring robot and it worked (see attached video link and forward to timestamp). Alliance 2 won which was composed of us, a team from southern PA, and southern NJ. Further, our students involved work diligently in the offseason to secure funding from businesses along with the Department of Defense. Also, in the offseason the students are being trained up in fields of robot programming, CAD (AutoDesk Inventor), Engineering and Design, Electronics and Sensors, Automated machining, Automation and Game Play, Public Speaking, and numerous additional skill sets. Team Advisor and Western Wayne teacher Brian Landry wishes to thank everyone in both the Western Wayne and Honesdale School Districts and local community who helped the students achieve this tremendous goal. To better understand what competition is like, see attached information
