Open House was a huge success! Thank you to the hundreds of community member, business sponsors, LEGO leagues, TSA and Science Olympiad members, and press who joined us. We have only just more than a week left of build this year. The whole team is excited as we are tweaking our robot, and getting the finished touches wrapped up. We can't wait for competition!
Come to the Code Red Robotics Open House on Saturday, February 6 from 12-4 p.m. in the Ithaca High School cafeteria. Ithaca High School's Code Red Robotics is opening their doors to the public with their annual Open House. Team members will be giving tours of their build session, Cornell professors will be giving chemistry demos, see an exhibit on sound made with scrap metal, design games for kids, and more! Admission is free. Check out the Facebook page here: https://goo.gl/ZEF8I4
This year for Code Red we have brought in a lot of new members and have had familiar faces return. Here are some statements from a few Code Red students regarding the influence that Code Red has had on them.
Code Red Build Season has officially begun! The intensive, 6-days-per-week season began in earnest with the release of the game this past Saturday. This year, the game is far more defense-based than last year, with several complex challenges to overcome.
As build season comes to a close, some of the members of Code Red Robotics took the time to reflect on their experiences from the past week, and their time on Code Red. Although the year is no where near done for us, as we prepare to travel to competitions and put finishing touches on strategies, many already feel nostalgic for its close. Here are some of those reflections:

As build season draws to a close, the teams wanted to thank all of the Code Red families for their incredible and endless support. Thank you parents who have brought children to and from Code Red, provided students with delicious and healthy meals, and lent a hand with our events. We couldn't do this without you!
The entire team is very grateful to all of you!
Did you know that the primary fundraiser for our team is selling energy-efficient LED lightbulbs?
Bulbs are expected to last 22+ years if used an average of three hours per day. They can be used outside as long as they are protected from rain and snow. They give off a soft light. They use a fraction of the energy that incandescents do. They come on right away and can be used under a lamp shade or in an enclosed fixture. They do not contain any heavy metals. They are made here in the U.S. by Cree, Inc.
Every year, CRR spreads the ideas of FIRST by mentoring at Jr. FIRST LEGO league events. This year's Jr.FLL season ended last Saturday, with Code Red Members helping the kids talk enthusiastically about their carefully-made projects,
Our team has been working hard as we journey into the end of Week 3. The linked video log documents that process, from the game announcement, to building the robot itself.
