VEX Worlds Championship in Louisville, Kentucky in April 2017!

That son of ours has done it again. He has a VEX Robotics Worlds Championship invite, this makes two years in a row! He won the Middle School Minnesota State Competition, the Skills Award and the Excellence Award. Team Not the S.A.M.E. will be going to the Worlds VEX Championship in Louisville, Kentucky in April 2017. We are looking for sponsors to help him pay for the team registration fee. Any takers? This is a great feat for a 12 year old in 6th grade!

Take a look at our new Facebook page for Central Minnesota Robotics and see how our teams, the Northway Drivers (High School) and Not the S.A.M.E. (Middle School) did this season with the 2016-2017 Starstruck robot challenge. 

We have set up a Go Fund Me page for our Middle School team to help raise money for the registration fee to Worlds and travel expenses. Please share the link if you can to spread the word! We have an upcoming fundraiser on Wednesday, March 1 at the Pizza Ranch in Waite Park for the organization. Central Minnesota Robotics will receive 25% of the proceeds just by mentioning you are there to support our organization! We will also receive any tips given that night! You can support us even with a take-out or delivery order as well.

Got Crayons?

These robot crayons are turning out mighty freaking cute I must say! I wish I realized soaking the crayons in water first help the wrappers come off more easily! I broke a few nails and have crayon wax embedded under my fingernails still from peeling the paper last night.

I still am in need of a lot more crayons for this project. If you have any old/broken crayons I can use, I'll trade ya two cute robot crayons for your stash! I want to make as many of these as I can for Morgan's VEX Robotic Championship in April to give away as "flair."  

I baked at 300 Degrees in a Convection Oven for about 15 minutes. Let cool for about 45 minutes to an hour (depending on how full you fill the molds) to try to push them out.

The cool 12 Cups Silicone Robot Baking Mold can be found on Amazon here. 

If you are interested in donating to help fund my 11 year old son's team in going to the Middle School VEX Robotics World's Championship in Kentucky, you can click here. This is a wonderful STEM related program that I encourage you to learn more about. More information can be found at here.
