The Manchester Machine Makers are gearing up for the upcoming season. The team currently has nine members who are students at Burr and Burton Academy, Long Trail, Dorset, and Arlington Memorial Middle School. That includes the team’s four new members that have joined this spring: David, Piper, Finn, and Katie.

We are all excited for the FIRST Tech Challenge announcement this fall, on the 18th of September, revealing this year’s robotics challenge. In the meantime, the Manchester Machine Makers are preparing the best we can for the upcoming season.

Since the team frequently uses MATLAB and Solidworks as we build and design robots, new members have been learning and practicing how to use this software over the summer.

As time draws nearer to the FIRST Tech Challenge kick off, we are working hard to prepare for the upcoming season so we can hit the ground running!
