Fondy Fire FIRST Robotics Team
. 
Fondy Heat, sometimes called the "little league" of local robotics, has
introduced competitive robotics to 100s of Fond du Lac area elementary and
middle schoolers. Each year, middle schools compete in fall, 4th and 5th grade
elementary schools compete in spring. Every new season brings a new challenge
and a different game to compete in. This year's game, Mummy Madness, has an
Egyptian theme. The robots the participants build must return mummies to
pyramids. The game is played on a 9'x18' field, with 4 robots on the field at a
time. The robots operate both autonomously and by human control. The students
have been building the robots since early April.
This year’s competition features teams from Roberts, Pier, Rosenow, Lakeshore and
Chegwin elementary schools. Each school has between 1 and 4 teams with 3-5
students on each team. The teams build robots from a kit called VEX, a robotics
kit designed by FIRST robotics. FIRST is the international league that Fondy
Fire competes in.
