Talon Robotics has many demonstrations throughout the year. These demos have different types, varying from corporate demos for sponsors to community outreach demos. With corporate demos, we show the companies our robot and talk to them about our robot. For our community outreach, we go throughout our community and demo our robots, showing our community what we do.
Corporate Demos
We go to businesses that give a large amount of money and show them our robot. As we show them our robot we talk to them about how we designed and build our robot as well as giving a presentation that talks about our team and thanks for sponsoring our team.
Community Outreach Demos
For our community outreach demos, we go throughout our community and show of our robot to the public. We do this to get people interested in STEM and FIRST programs. Usually we bring this season’s robot, and sometimes we bring our 2013 robot, which can shoot frisbees. Many people like to catch them, especially children, and this helps to spark an interest in STEM.
Some of our demos include:
- Bots for Tots – We put on a demo at our local mall, demoing our robot while collecting toy donations for Toys for Tots!
- Sparklefest – We bring our robot to our city’s 3rd of July event to interact with the people who stop by. Our area is often popular and gives us a chance to raise interest in both our team and STEM in general!
