My name is Caleb Gewirtz, I graduated in 2015 and am returning to the team as a mentor for my third year of robotics with Ovid Elsie. I got involved in 2013, the first year our school took on the program; I not only had a lot of fun but I learned a lot doing it. Last year was better than our first due to our knowledge and experience gained, and I'm hoping to see even more improvement as we kick off the new season. But things are looking up for the MarauderBots, and I'm glad to be involved because I've watched us grow from having 3 guys scrounging for tools and pulling our hair out to make the deadline to a classroom full of students equipped with more than enough tools. And with a new strategy, the right equipment, and a bigger and more involved team, were only one robot away from making it to states!
