What’s new:

The team voted to alter Wasabi (our robot) and add a hooded shooter following our first competition. We are practicing driving, redesigning our pit setup and perfecting our robot. Competition is this week!!

At the Oregon State Fairgrounds SERT was chosen as Alliance 6 captain and we invited teams 4125 and 2926 to join us in the finals. Our unique robot design earned us the Creativity Award!

SERT was in the news for our impact on girls and women in STEM!

What’s on the horizon:

Outreach: SERT continues our volunteer efforts, and outreach in our community, including modifying toys for children with disabilities, offering Summer camps, demonstrating our robotics at local schools, and 3D printing gifts for unhoused youth.
