The following three years brought a remarkable shift in our thinking on FLL as a priority for our area. In a District where there is a large diversity of household incomes, all students would now have the opportunity to be exposed to STEM in their regular school day. In 2016, our team won its first trip to the FRC World Championship and with that amazing opportunity came support from our administration to institute Lego and Vex curriculum in 4th, 6th, and 8th grades. Team 3102 has been very fortunate to have Nevis Public School at its back. This trailer will house and transport the Nevis field throughout NMRC territory and beyond. In an effort to assist team 3102 in their charitable work and potentially increase field access for area teams the NMRC is excited to unveil the very first Mobile Robotics Field Trailer in Minnesota. The large scale event in Duluth has had as many as 124 teams from around the world in attendance in each of the last few years. For the past three seasons they have transported, set up, and run their field for teams to practice on during large scale regional robotics competitions in both Duluth and Grand Forks. This allows teams to get on the field for the first time in almost nine months. They have hosted both a kick off event and a scrimmage prior to the competition portion of each season. This field is owned and operated by one of our founding member teams, 3102 the Tech-No-Tigers in Nevis.įor the past seven years the Nevis HS team has worked diligently to help area teams by giving them access to their field throughout the season. Up until last year there was only one field in Minnesota, that a team could possibly get access to year round. We have members as far north as International Falls and we dip as far south as Upsala.įor the vast majority of our teams access to a fully functional robotics field other than during competition is virtually nonexistent. The NMRC covers more than 25,000 square miles and stretches from Hatton, ND to Grand Marais. One of the largest of these is geographic isolation compared to their peers in central Minnesota. There are many different challenges that HS Robotics teams in our region face annually.
