On November 1, 2025, our robotics team participated in the STEMley Cup in Hamilton, which hosted 27 teams. At the one-day tournament, we were all doing our part in different sections like a true team. With our mentor, Dr. Kozma, human player/strategist, and our operator, our 3 new drivers gained experience and tried new things, including both defensive and offensive moves. In the meantime, we had students scouting in the stands and studying other teams during matches to help us gain some new ideas and techniques, as well as learning what we were up against. Our last few members were in the pit, ready to help change bumpers and make little tweaks to the robot. During the lunch period, everyone on our team went to the “Women in STEM” workshop, where we learned about so many inspiring women. Even though we were there for a very long day, our team persevered and made it an amazing experience!
