Trial and Error Robotics took on the Digital Animation Award this season, diving into storytelling, creativity, and future archaeology. From brainstorming bold ideas to animating a futuristic auction featuring a mysterious Earth artifact (and a familiar mustached buyer 👀), this project pushed our team to learn new skills and work across sub-teams. Win or lose, the journey—and the surprise scholarship along the way—made this an experience we won’t forget.

Leaders in the Making

Trial & Error Robotics recently held a Leadership 101 class led by mentor Mr. Aaron Cody, who shared insights from his years in manufacturing and leadership. Team members explored the importance of knowing your “Why,” the qualities of good vs. bad leaders, and how leadership extends beyond robotics into everyday life. The session left the team inspired to grow as leaders, friends, and teammates.
