Team 1305 the local Near North Student Robotics initiative introduced their robot to the community on Thursday.

His name is Clark and he’ll be competing in several competitions.

Infact, Clark has already been out and about taking part in a competition in Oshawa last weekend.

The team captain this year is Jessica Kelso.

She says their always trying to make their robot better as the season moves along and this year is no different.

She says Clark’s job is to pick up fuel balls either on the ground or from a hopper.

Mentor Nancy Dewar-Stenning says they’ve already qualified for the provincials because at the Oshawa competition they were named the winners of the engineering inspiration award.

The top 29 teams at the provincials move on to the world championships in St Louis.

The next competition is next month at Nipissing University.
