Zuko Team 1540I have been involved with one of the most amazing group of young humans (High School students) as a mentor. Team 1540 Flaming Chickens of Catlin Gabel are now entering the 2016 FRC competition season and just created their robot reveal video.

Zuko was designed by the students using Autodesk Inventor and built in their lab.

The next competition for Zuko is coming up March 10th to the 12th at Wilsonville High School in the Autodesk sponsored Pacific Northwest FIRST Competitions. http://pnwfirst.org/events/schedule/2016-pnw-dist-3/

Here are some photos from the plan, design, build and program phase. I am so very proud and impressed by these students as they collaborate and involve every team member in the decisions and tasks better than engineering any design firm of adults I have known. These young adults and their instructor Dale Yocum completely humble me.
