Community Day 2022

This December, the results of three months of preparation paid off, as the Riverdale Robotics team collaborated with the student council, along with several other clubs, to run Riverdale’s community day event. We had several volunteers from the Robotics Team to help out with various activities throughout the day, including our very own Robotics station. It featured a lego robotics activity, and showcased our two of our robots, which was a huge success with the children at the event.

FRC Competition

FTC Competition

For the first time at Riverdale, Robotics competed in FTC. We competed with three teams: Riverdale Rascals, Runners and Riders. Unlike FRC, FTC is less heavy on building and more focused on programming and was also built during the Computer Engineering Robotics course (TER4M). Our member from Build, Kelvin, helped his team win the Innovative Award. Nathan, Aiden, Damon and Jenny from Build, went to Semi finals and achieved the highest score of the day.

Overtime Sunday

Congratulations to the robotics team for their strong effort at the STEMley Cup/Overtime Sunday tournament in Hamilton, on October 30th. We entered two teams out of 21 teams at the competition. Team A, was captain of the 6th alliance and was eliminated in the quarter final (Drivers: Sofia Pereira, Emelie Gordon). Team B was selected by the 1st alliance and went on to win the tournament (Drivers: Nathan Hudson, Joshua Liang). Thank you Ms. Nishio and Mr. Le for your support.

CNE Competition

Our team competed for the first time in over 2 years at the CNE Offseason Competition on September 2 to 4. The new drivers, Aidan Hayes and Jason Wu, continued to improve throughout the competition, making the quarterfinals. The team had a strong showing at the competition with support of Mr. Au, Ms. Stamatiou, Ms. Wieringa, Jeffrey Siu, and Mr. Le.
