Local kids move on in FTC Robotics Twenty-three teams of students in grades 7-12 from schools around the Gorge participated in the First Tech Challenge (FTC) Qualifying Tourna- ment at The Dalles Middle School last Saturday, Jan. 31. After a long day of judging panels and head-to- head competition, eight of the Gorge teams advanced to the next level of competition with a place at the one of the Oregon Super-Qualifier Tour- naments. This event was hosted locally by the students of The Dalles High School FTC Teams, coached by Bev Froemming. Support was provided by the Gorge Tech Alliance and spon- sorship from Google and Boeing. In this sports-style competition, teams are responsible for designing, build- ing, and programming their robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and is programmed using a variety of lan- guages. Teams, including coaches, mentors and volunteers, are re- quired to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles. Awards are given for the competition as well as for communi- ty outreach, design, and other real- world accomplishments. The object of this year’s game, named Cascade Effect, is to win more points than an opponent by scoring160 large and small white plastic balls into two center goals or six rolling goals of various heights. ■ Service Announcement Jean Kuhlman Jean Landers Kuhlman, 91, passed away Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015, at Mid-Colum- bia Medical Center in The Dalles, Ore.

The FTC competition is very chal- lenging with many different compo- nents that we are judged on. One of those components is our engineering notebook, which follows us through our journey up until the day of the competition. It is full of our ideas, inspirations and knowledge of the FTC game. Another huge part of the FTC competition is the robot. It takes many hours of designing, mea- suring and building to create these masterpieces. Finally, in order to make our robot move we have to be able to create programs which allow the robot to move on its own and with a controller.” — Erin Sutherland, Melissa Nar- done, and Erik Siekkinen If you have already made funeral prearrangements, and have changes in your preferences, family dynamics, or in the issuing firm, you’ll be happy to know that these policies are transferrable.
