Robots in hometown parades

[princessnatalie]

Team 2471 participates in their town parade every year. We also have a festival afterward, where we set up games for people to play with our robot. This year it is a timed trial with an obstacle course and the deploying of our minibot.

We build a new robot for the parade, our "MascBot" which is made for our highschools mascot costume to go on it. Last year the parade and festival them was "Wizards" or something, and we made the arms of the mascot spin and the head rise up and down. We actually won second place in the walking float division.

We are from a really small town, and are thinking about being in bigger town parades, specifically the Portland parades that I have never seen our Portland teams be apart of.
