TFS TFS Robotic Unicorns on the Road to the Win The TFS Robotic Unicorns team, under the leadership of Zachary X. Level IV, designed and programmed a robot to compete in the 2021- 2022 First Tech Challenge robotics competition. After making it through regional qualifying events, the team advanced to the provincial championships in February. Their innovative design, including the use of sensors, encoders and an articulating robotic arm, impressed the judges. Competing against 31 teams from across Ontario, the TFS Robotic Unicorns achieved the second highest robot score and also received second place for the Innovate Award. "Students were engaged in hands-on engineering and problem solving focused on a shipping industry ripe for innovation via autonomous and semi- autonomous vehicles," said Bob Tarle, Executive Director of Innovation and Technology. With the generous support of the TFS Parents' Association, the Senior School robotics club will continue throughout the school year, with focus on robot design, construction and programming.
