October 2022: Alabama Science Festival (STEAMfest)

The CyberJagzz again participated with the Gigawatts, team 7428, at the Huntsville STEAMfest. This is the second year of the event, held in the East Hall of the Von Braun Center in downtown Huntsville. In addition to our two FIRST Robotics Competition teams there were two FIRST Tech Challenge teams and a FIRST LEGO League team. In the photo above you can see the FIRST booth, which extends farther right out of the picture.

The crowd was larger than last year, and the organizers promise an event next year about twice the size.   https://www.huntsvillescience.org/

This year we opted to only bring our wooden "learning bot" that we're using to teach systems to the new team members. Right now that robot only drives around on a mecanum chassis and has part of a pneumatics system on it. But that didn't stop festival attendees to line up to drive it.
