Third and Fourth Grade students at Myers Elementary school in Grand Blanc had an opportunity to see The Admiral in action during an outdoor assembly. Several students were able to operate the robot, and everyone got an up-close look at all of the EngiNERDs awesome engineering. 

The Grand Blanc High School Robotics Team plans on visiting more elementary schools in the district before the conclusion of the 2012 school year.

After two days of intense competition, Team 2337 emerged victorious at the 2012 Kettering University District Competition for the first time in their 5-year history. 

At the close of Saturday’s qualification, the NERDs were seeded in the top position, and chose an alliance of Team 33, the Killer Bees from Notre Dame Prep in Auburn Hills and Rookie Team 4294, StarTREC from SRT & The Early College at Lansing Community College in Saginaw. Working as an effective alliance, the three teams won the competition after seven well-played matches.

If you missed the competition, you can watch video of all of the Kettering District Competition's matches on FIRST in Michigan's YouTube Channel.

NERDo and his sister NERDette are great friends of Team 2337! They travel all over the world to spread the word of FIRST, and tell others about the importance of science, technology, engineering, and math! NERDo and NERDette love to visit Schools, go on vacations with their friends' families, and most of all, attend FIRST® Robotics events!
