Printing e-NABLE hands
Printing e-NABLE hands
-This hand is a RAPTOR Reloaded hand by e-NABLE, printed by one of our sponsors, BI-LINK. e-NABLE is a program that makes 3D-printed prosthetic hands available to children who need them. 3D printed hands are easy and cheap to create, and it feels good to use our technology to help those who could use it.

-Granger was holding a STEM Demo in their gym and many of us being alumni's we wanted to give back to the school and students. We demoed our robot by allowing students to drive it and let them watch us hang our robot on a makeshift cliff.

World Robotic Olympiad (WRO) National Competition
-Our mentor, Will Wong is the national organizer for WRO. He needed help with the sale of concessions at the NIU concessions stand. It was a great experience for the team to experience a real life job and see competitions for Trash Trek, the WRO competition. This also was a great way to give back to the STEM community.

Team Spare Parts
Team Spare Parts
-Team Spare Parts is a rookie team out of Cary, IL. Their team is made up of some outcasts and recruits, hence the name: Spare Parts. They are fired up and ready to provide a great challenge to others, while of course showing Gracious Professionalism. They looked to us for some mentoring and insight on how to make their robot better. They look like a potential top team for this year.

AJWC Shrek Dragon
-Over the summer of 2015, team 9411 and friends built a robotic dragon for the Aurora Junior Women's Club musical, "Shrek, an Ogre's Tale." Obviously that's not how the dragon looked when finished. Rohit and Aden can be seen working on closing up the cloth skin.
