- 2012
We officially became Huskie Robotics (previously “The Federation”), and our robot Lucy, competed in the Lake Superior and Midwest Regional, ranking 38 and 10 respectively. This season was one of our best seasons yet. Members spent a considerable time helping a team with only one student and one mentor present, get their robot through inspection and on the field and put on another team’s shirt so that they could compete for them and field a full team, earning the Gracious Professionalism Award.

Logo Motion
- 2011
With our Robot Steve, we placed 37th at our Midwest Regional competition. Still, Steve fought hard and gave it his all giving the opposing alliance a tough time. Our minibot, Stella, on the other hand, was promising and could climb the pole. When the end games began, Steve was unable to successfully deploy Stella and she never had the opportunity to climb. All in all, everyone had fun, and developed the motivation to do better the next year.

This year, with our robot Sarek, we were able to reach the quarterfinals (teamed with Team 2338, Gear it Forward, and Team 2769 Robots in Motion,) in the Midwest Regional. We ranked 8th overall in the whole competition. Sarek was able to move around and score. Something that’s pretty amazing was that during this competition, we did not have any scouting done. All we had was a team member sitting in the audience analyzing
different teams.
2009 Stella
Lunacy

1/2
Luncay
- 2009
This year was a successful debut for the "Orange Monsters." During matches, our robot Stella did not score any points at all with our only points scored ever at regionals were from the human player tossing a ball into the opposing team’s trailer. But our robot moved, something many rookie teams do not achieve. It may not sound as exciting, but to us it was momentous. Built out of angle-iron Had built in propellers that went at high speeds to blow away the opposing team’s balls.
