TENTATIVE DATES
“CHARGE!!” shouted The Quantum Samurai team, led by Fiona Lau. The match started and lasted only a few minutes, but the energy our team had was unbelievable. Our constant energy rivaled other team’s cheer-ers for 3 days. Our Team 1601 exemplified sportsmanship when our robot was on or off the field. “We Scored!!!” shouted Brayan Duarte. With his lead, our team jumped from our seats and yelled, boosting our team’s confidence on the field. “Dragons!!” our team shouted. “Roar!!!” they responded. This team, whose robot was playing on the field, had an impressive and unshakeable spirit. With our combined roars, both our teams made the big screen numerous times. To keep the energy high throughout the competition, a conga line was formed! It snaked throughout 3 floors. Best of all, it included a large number of team members from various teams. After countless matches for one day, we reach our hotel. I guess the fun really never ends on the competition trip because we instantly went around room after room, continuing to burn energy with the friends we cherish most. On the third day, the championship games started. The stadium was filled with noise, shouts, music and Frisbees. It was phenomenal. Awards ceremony came, and the pressure was on. When The Quantum Samurai was called up for the Entrepreneurship Award, the stadium was filled with the excitement of the mighty Samurais! This year we went home with not only the prestigious Entrepreneurship Award, but many unforgettable memories.

ANNUAL ROBOTICS POCONOS RETREAT
On the weekend of June 28 - June 30, the Quantum Samurai visited Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) for our annual Robotics Retreat. After a lot of hard work during the season, we all anxiously awaited this vacation. Upon arrival, our team was given some time to settle into our lodge, before going to lunch. That afternoon, after lunch, we had a program planned for a group of summer camp students. We taught them the basic fundamentals of robotics, and they even got to build their own VEX robot! We ended the night with delicious smores. The next day, after enjoying the amazing breakfast the staff had so kindly prepared for us, we were off to do trail maintenance. Our team was divided into three groups, each with a different task. Watching the different groups play their part, and then witnessing the finished product was remarkable. After lunch, that afternoon, we were scheduled for group building activities. Our team had to work together, problem solve, and figure out how to accomplish the obstacle set in front of us. Without surprise, our team worked well together and breezed through it. That same evening we had our last meeting of the year, the sole purpose of our retreat. Our team got to discuss what we liked about the year, and what we may improve on. The meeting was a huge success and it left all of our members with a sense of anticipation as to what next year's season might bring.

PROJECT H2O TAKES OFF!
Posted April 18.2013
On April 18th, a representative from the Red Cross came to Aviation High School, whom the Quantum Samurai presented our purchased AquaSun Water Purifier to. Our team put on a presentation for Chaka, introducing ourselves, what we do, and our future goals for Project H2O. Chaka will personally deliver the water purifier to an orphanage in Zimbabwe this upcoming August. We look forward to purchasing our next purifier soon, and will continue to send at least two every year.
