MOE at the 2012 FTC Event at the Bob Carpenter Center, the biggest 1-day competition in the world!

MOE 2012 Kickoff

After discovering the event this year and what it has to offer, MOE 365 has started working hard on Robot Rumble!

Ramp Riot 2011

After a trecherous ordeal to keep our robot running, MOE was picked by the number 2 seeded alliance: CyberSonics 103, along with team 1640, Sa-BOT-age. Unfortunately our competition ended in semi-finals, but all in all it was another great day working with Miss Daisy 341. Thank you Team 341 for a great competition!

MOE Wine Tasting Fundraiser

At MOE's annual wine tasting fundraiser on Saturday, 150 people participated in a night of fun and spending. The impressive event, organized by MOE's dedicated Boosters, provided four wine vendors and one beer vendor to taste from and 20 baskets to bid on in the silent auction. The PandeMOEnium demo and massive amounts of good food contributed to the festive atmosphere.

BOEING Tour

Boeing, one of our major sponsors, hosts an annual tour for our students at their manufacturing plant. Our students were able to see the production lines of the Chinook, the cool 2-propellor helicopter you see in movies, and the V22 Osprey, a plane with a helicopter's propellors. Jeremy and Jenna tried the flight simulator and crashed a plane into the ground at 400 mph. According to Jeremy, the US Air Force won't be hiring him anytime soon! The students also walked through the wind tunnel where planes are tested - with it off, of course, despite our nicest pleads. We were all impressed with the complexity of the machines the engineers at Boeing designed, and they are role models for young engineers.

Duel on the Delaware

MOE and the LuNaTeCs hosted the 10th annual Duel on the Delaware this weekend. Twenty-nine FRC teams competed, and we are pleased to report that the alliance of MOE 365, Team 37: Red Devils, and Team 1640: Sab-BOT-age won! The teams were awarded these beautiful, handcrafted trophies created by the LunaTechs. Thanks to all the volunteers and participants for another successful Duel!

MOE Kickoff

MOE started its 13th year with its own kickoff for new and returning students alike. We jumped right into getting to know our new teammates and talking about the events we would be going to this year, as our area is switching to the district system. We're looking forward to the novelty and the challenge and a big welcome to all the FRC rookies!
