HERE WE ARE DURING A SHORT BREAK IN BUILDING!!!
Welcome Back Hodge!!!!
 |
Buzz would like to welcome back Jim "Hodge" Hodrinsky, albeit as a part-time mentor. As many of you might know, Hodge became very ill with heart failure back in late-2009/early-2010. He was up and down through the first half of 2010 but was eventually stable enough to receive a great robot -- LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) -- which allowed Hodge to visit and cheer on BUZZ locally a few times during the 2011 season -- while waiting for a new heart. The gift of that new heart came in August 2011 and Hodge joined BUZZ for Kickoff and Brainstorming. He will visit BUZZ when he can during this 2012 FRC build season and we all plan to have him back full-time for the 2013 FRC season. |
What's the BUZZ all about?
The Buzz Robotics team participates in the FIRST (For Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology) Robotics Competition. The team consists of engineers from Hamilton Sundstrand Space, Land & Sea in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, and students and teachers from Enrico Fermi High School and Enfield High School in Enfield, Connecticut.

This season, BUZZ plans to compete at:
|
2012 FRC Rebound RumbleSM
 |
The Rebound RumbleSM robotics game is played between two Alliances of three teams each. Each Alliance competes by trying to score as many of the basketballs in the hoops as possible during the 2-minute and 15-second match. Balls scored in higher hoops score Alliances more points. Alliances are awarded bonus points if they are balanced on bridges at the end of the match. In matches where opponent Alliances work together to balance on the white bridge, all participating teams earn additional valuable seeding points. More Info |
