UHS Wolfpack is a highly successful robotics team from Unionville High School (UHS) situated in the town of Unionville, Ontario. Ever since the team’s inception in 1994, we have exemplified proficiency and achievement in the field of robotics, winning numerous awards including the Canadian Robotics 1st Place President's Award and Best Videography Award.
As one of the earliest teams from the York Region District School Board to participate in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), our team has pioneered our school and community’s involvement in the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) fields.
We build a large robot every year, some taller than any of us! Depending on the year’s FRC game, they have a variety of abilities, such as climbing walls, shooting balls, etc.
We code and create autonomous routines to make the robot come to life in unique and efficient ways. We also code to improve the driver's experience by automating certain tasks such as targeting.
We create designs of our future robot using professional software such as Solidworks, then machine parts of it using CAD tools such as 3D Printers and CNCs.
We recruit students and sponsors in the local community and share the team's activities with the rest of the world through social media.
We present the team's successes in front of other students, parents, and sponsors to further the team's growth and promote the importance of STEM education.
We capture our team's work and spirit using professional equipment and software. This has proven to be very effective at promoting ourselves and the joy of solving real world problems in FRC.
We kicked off our first competition of the Vex VRC season at the Markham Pan Am Center and competed against over 80 teams from all over Canada and the United States!
We kicked off our first competition of the season at Durham College and competed against over 30 teams from all over Canada!
We went to local elementary schools to promote our school's STEM program, opportunities in the STEM industries and FIRST Robotics Competition. We brought our robot along with us to show to the students who seemed very interested and eager to learn more.
We sold eggtarts to the student body and the community to promote STEM education and our team!
We introduced over 100 new members from our school to robotics and showed them ways they can use their skills (non-technical and/or technical) to contribute to the team!
During Unionville High School's annual Mayfair, we sold curry balls to raise awareness of the importance of STEM education and introduced future members to our team!
