Spring Activities
June 26, 2010

After competing at Manchester, Boston and Atlanta, the Walpole High School Robotics Team was busy with other activities. At the Walpole High School Graduation Blair Lichtenstein was awarded the Walpole High School robotics scholarship. We had a BBQ to celebrate our accomplishments this year. We are not simply a robotics team, building winning robots for competitions; we are also a relay for life team, raising money for cancer research to save lives. We participated in the Relay for Life for the second consecutive year. This year we raised about $4500. The relay for life was an exciting event. Each team member was assigned to walk around the Walpole High School track for at least an hour. During the course of the night there were various events which included an Opening Ceremony, a Survivor Lap, and a Luminaria ceremony. An important event for our team was the creation of Roger Culp’s Mohawk. Roger promised that if he raised $1153 (our robotics' team number) he would get a Mohawk for the evening. Creating the Mohawk was a laborious task. We went through various gels and glues. The trouble was, one of the gels was oil based, so the subsequent glue had trouble sticking because it was water based. Additionally, We fund raised for our team by hosting a can drive which raised $700 by recycling cans at $.04 a can.
