2020 ZACTF FIRST Robotics
Zombie Apocalypse Counter Task Force ZACTF Team #426
My sister Lauren and her friend were the co-captains of the rookie ZACTF team, and even though I was in middle school, I got to participate on the team. It was a collaboration between Morris High School, in Bronx, NY, the Saigon South International School, in Ho Chi Minh City, and three of us from New Hampshire.
We built a fully functional robot, a pile of spare parts, and we were prepared for our first competition at a central location for everyone - Honolulu Hawaii! The only problem was that as we were flying over the Pacific to the competition on March 16th, FIRST Cancelled all competitions due to Covid-19. We spent a long weekend in Hawaii, and returned home after just a few days.
