Hey! I'm Sam Chowdhury and this is my fourth and last year on LanceBotics. I am one of the Co-Captains for the Media team, build on 200X and am the Lead Scout for all of LanceBotics shared scouting plan. I designed the entire website, as well as wrote some content for it. Apart from robotics, I am on the cross country, track and swim teams in school. This season, my goal is to win at least one of the many Online Challenges so that my team can qualify for the 2020 VEX World Championship! This is my last year of high school, and I plan to make this a fantastic season that I'll never forget.

Hello, my name is Sameer Passi and I am in Grade 11 at Leaside High School. This is my second year on this VEX robotics team and I am a builder and write the engineering notebook for 200X. Outside of robotics I do DECA, Junior Achievement, Peer Tutoring, Kumon, play piano, flute, and soccer, and I am my school’s student council as treasurer. My goal this season is to qualify for the 2020 VEX World Championships and improve upon our standing from last year. I hope we have a successful season and I am keen to see what we can accomplish.

Hey, my name is Sameen Yousuf and this is my first year on the LanceBotics team. My role as a member in 200G is to document everything that goes on during meetings, team sessions and competitions in our engineering notebook. Outside of LanceBotics, I am the president of Leaside’s Arts Council, a junior editor in the school Chronicle, and a member of the Drama Club, Yearbook Committee, and Stage Crew. I joined LanceBotics as an attempt to try something new and be a part of something big. This year, I hope to help my team qualify for Worlds and make new friends along the way.

Hey, my name is Dasha Akopyan and this is my first year on the LanceBotics team as the designated competition photographer. Outside of Robotics, I am co-leader of the Leaside Chronicle and Leaside Concert band, and I participate in Peer Tutoring and Stage Crew. With this year being my only year within Robotics, I hope I’ll get to have great experiences with my team - this includes during competitions and during alone time of course - and to take decent photos for LanceBotics!

My name is Martin Alexiev, and this is my second year in robotics. Last year, I originally began as media taking video as well as making videos for the entire team. Then, I quickly progressed and became a builder for 200X. This year I became Captain of 200H hoping to lead the team to its first ever World Championship. The other extracurriculars I do are ice hockey, yearbook, and DECA in which I am all passionate towards. This is my last year in high school making it my last year in LanceBotics. With that in mind, I’m putting in 200% into this team, making sure we have the best possible season!

Heyo! I’m Teddy, a fourth year member of LanceBotics. I’ve contributed as a jack-of-all trades programmer, builder, media member and web developer on teams 200B, 74747J, 200X and this year, 200H. Outside of robotics, I co-lead the Leaside Chronicle newspaper and co-lead Stage Crew. My goal this year is to usurp the current lead programmer and claim the title for my own, or bring 200H to worlds. Whichever comes first. Graduation marks the end of my LanceBotics career, so I want to make sure to go out with a BANG! Worlds, here we come!

Last year, one of our teams qualified for the 2019 VEX World Championships, which is something I would love to do this year. I can’t wait to document our best season yet.
