CCTS ROBOTICS UPDATE / CHAIRMAN'S AWARD WINNERS / MID ATLANTIC REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP DETAILS!!!


What an exciting last few weeks this has been for Camden County Tech Robotics FIRST Team #203!  As you know, our success has been beyond our expectations and true testament to all involved including our family boosters, volunteers, mentors, coaches, and most importantly our student team members!

Our robot has been performing exceptionally well for the last two competitions and proceeding through the quarter finals at each.  At Chestnut Hill, our team was honored with the Entrepreneurialship Award as well as a safety recognition for our Safety Captain Sam T. 

Certainly the highlight for the last two weeks was the honor of winning the MAR Seneca District Chairman’s Award.  As you all know, this is the most prestigious award in all of FIRST Robotics.  Per the standards laid out for the award, “The Chairman’s Award is the most prestigious award at FIRST, it honors the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate and best embodies the purpose and goals of FIRST. It was created to keep the central focus of FIRST Robotics Competition on the ultimate goal of transforming the culture in ways that will inspire greater levels of respect and honor for science and technology, as well as encouraging more of today’s youth to become scientists, engineers, and technologists.”    This is truly one of the highlights of our nearly 20 year history of the team.  It honors everything we have done as team in the community, our school, to promote “STEAM” and the values of FIRST Robotics! 

This coming week our team has been invited and qualified to represent our school at the FIRST Mid-Atlantic Robotics Championships at Lehigh University!   Not only will our robot be competing against the other top 60 robots in the Mid-Atlantic Region, but we will be competing for the Regional Championship Chairman’s award.  We will be one of seven teams who won the chairman’s at the 7 various MAR district level competitions.  Our team will be on contention for the Regional Chairman’s Award against the 6 other district level chairman’s teams.  This is the first time in our history that we have won this honor to compete amongst this select group. 

We have put together a travel info packet for students traveling daily to the regional championships.  In this packet is a letter, general info, travel agenda, and permission form.  The permission form is due to Mr. DePrince ASAP.  Please find the link to the packet here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-sGgCte189KczJTYVFqNlpmQTQ/view?usp=sharing.  TRAVEL INFO PACKET LINK

We strongly encourage our families and supporters to attend!  This is a great event and very family friendly!!!!  It is double the size of the district events that we already attended and is hosted at the Stabler Area on the beautiful campus of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA.  More info is in the travel info packet!

  1. Hi I'm looking for a girl named Emma. I just met her today in Atlantic city and I get get her out of my head. She has red hair and she pretty. I would really like to get a hold of her. I know I sound stupid and probably irrational, but I really want to talk to her again
