MGCI ROBOTICS

MGCI Robotics has a relatively short history when compared to other clubs-but we've come a long way. The club was originally started by Saiyam Patel back in 2014, when it was just four friends who competed in Zone01 and made it to the nationals. It officially registered in 2015 with a total of 14 people, and competed in the UOIT Sumobots competition. The grade 9 team made it to the semifinals and was awarded with the Best New School Award. In the same year, the members competed at Zone01 and won second place. In 2016, we did not receive any supervision or funding from the school. With only 12 members, they tried their very best at Zone01 but it was a lackluster year. Most of the seniors had quit except for a grade 11 (Jeremy Phy), the club had lost all semblence of stucture, and once again did not receive any school support... Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. While initially unsure of how to hold a robotics club in a virtual environment, we eventually decided to continue holding..
