FRED\u00a0the Steamworks robot\u00a0was a robot\u00a0of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, hard\u00a0and shiny\u00a0in decoration; backward in driving; sleek, short, dusty, metallic, and yet somehow lovable. However, the robot is not quite complete as of yet. The subsystems are still hard at work building the climber and gear collector, there is a shooter being designed and hopefully fabricated, there is still a lot of programming left to do, the bumpers are being made, and the community outreach team is still hard at work with a plethora of assignments.<\/p>\n

Every Saturday during the build season is a Safety Saturday, meaning that our safety committee, and possibly a mentor or two, gives a safety demonstration. The coolest, or should I say hottest, demonstration every year is the Fire Safety demonstration. \u00a0One of our mentors used to work as a volunteer firefighter, so he knows a lot about fire safety, though fire extinguishers are what he focuses on during the demonstration. The mentor creates a controlled fire in a clear area outside of the school building, and then he teaches the team how to use fire extinguishers by telling them and then having three different students \u2013 who have not done it before \u2013 use the fire extinguishers to put out the fires. The demonstration this year was quite successful \u2013 only Carl\u00a0was injured.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
