The last several weeks have been without new content from the Horns. After a collection of team events in post to our final match, and now after the final participants of this FRC season have been recognized it was today, finally the time to break this silence in commemoration and close on our season. Team members gathered today at Clark's Creek Park to celebrate this season's achievements and recall the outreach we fostered. It was, in addition to games and food, our adviser Mr. Mclure's gre...

The fairgrounds in Puyallup opened yesterday for the Spring Fair, and the Puyallup School District STEM Showcase today. Children from Kindergarten to Sixth grade, throughout the district, compete yearly to conduct the best experiment, build the best invention, or disseminate the most knowledge through reverse engineering. Students from 7...

Our model of the robot in Autodesk, which has been constantly updated to match real life changes, has been duly noted to be complete as well. In order to continue testing after bag and tag next Wednesday, the building department remains hard at work creating a practice ...
By this time, we had hoped to be testing a completed robot for our competition. Instead, a full week after our deadline, we are still working hard to get it all finished. As it turns out, the "final touches" on a project of this calibre take more than just a few short hours; and so, here we are. It is evident now that without real confirmation of the bots completion, any assumption of what is left to do or the time that may take is frankly tactless. This week, in the department of build, we h...
Today is our personal deadline for the completion of our robot. We certainly are cutting it very, very close but as nearly as anyone may be able to tell the build team is only doing some final touches. Despite the fact that we all had to work unusually hard and quickly today to do it, it is fair to say that the team got it done.
