ACME Open House

ACME had an awesome 2018 season! Now we’re looking forward to next season and we’re beginning the recruiting process for new team members. If you’re interested in learning more about FIRST competitive robotics and ACME, then come see us at our open house.

You’re invited to check out the team!

When: Tuesday, May 22, 2018

Time: 5 PM – 6 PM

Where: Room G13, Nevada Union Campus (it’s in the portables between the pool and the wrestling gym)

Who: FIRST Tech Challenge is for kids going into 7th through 12th grades. ACME is a community team, so there is no official school affiliation, we have members from several schools. There are opportunities for a variety of skills and interests on the team including:

  • Hardware
  • Software
  • Project Management
  • Writing (our engineering notebook a key aspect of each tournament)
  • Social media (this website, our facebook page, instagram etc)
  • Videography and photography

At the meeting we’ll review our 2018 season, and you’ll have the chance to drive the robot. You can talk to all of the current team members and learn first hand what competitive robotics is all about. If you’ve been curious about robots, then ACME is your answer. Come to the meeting and get all of your questions answered.

The season starts next fall when the official 2018-2019 game is announced in early August. However, we are recruiting now because we will have several meetings/events this summer to plan for next year.

Hope to see you there!
