Practice field

Although Buzz Robotics has owned a practice field for three years , this year has brought some welcomed changes . In the past , the practice field was held in unused parts of school gyms across Enfield . However , due to the closing of Fermi High , the field was moved to the second half of its cafeteria ( the first half being used for team meetings ). These changes have allowed , not only more access to the field , but also more time to edit the field components . Since the revelation , mentors and students have been working on building pieces of the field for this year ’ s game . Now into week three , the field is operational enough to begin small practice sessions , such as testing the prototype of the shooter and its ability to throw a fuel ball into the almost 10 feet high boiler .
