The Greater Norristown Art League (GNAL) is hosting their 3rd annual art trail this weekend. During this time, the community is invited to visit these artists to see how they operate, what their studio looks like, and learn about the artists themselves. This is a unique way of viewing and getting acquainted with local artists who open their space to the public for greater awareness of the creative environment in our community. It showcases a variety of artists with many diverse skills and talents!

Conicelli is helping sponsor the event and invites everyone in the area to come check out this amazing experience. The GNAL has produced a brochure to help get started on the trail. The brochure contains a brief bio of each artist, as well as his or her contact information and easy-to-follow directions to each studio. These brochures with maps are available on GNAL’s website, www.gnal.org. Before and during the event they will be available at league headquarters, 800 W. Germantown Pike, East Norriton.

Eleven artists are participating in the trail. Artworks range from bronze, plaster and wood worked and shaped in a foundry to pencil and oil works, from precious contemporary and conceptual jewelry to pastels and other types.

Each year, the Robotics team builds a new “Friarbot,” a robot based on specifications issued by FIRST, an international non-profit that aims to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, and rewards teamwork, real-world skills, and “gracious professionalism.” The team only had six weeks to design, build and program the robot from a parts kit made up of a mix of automation components, motors, batteries and a PC – but no instructions – and a video of what the end-result should be able to do.

This year’s game was called “LOGO MOTION.” Two alliances of three teams competed on a 27-by-54-foot field. The match started with a 15-second Autonomous Period when robots operate on their own to hang pieces on the game grid. Then, within 2 minutes and 15 seconds, the alliances aimed to score points by operating their robots to hang as many as possible triangle, circle and square logo pieces on pegs. The higher the teams hang their pieces on the grid, the more points their alliance receives. Additional points are awarded for each robot that hangs the pieces to form the FIRST logo. At the end of that period, the robots can then deploy mini robots to climb vertical poles for a chance to earn bonus points.

This year the team traveled to Hofstra University in Long Island to compete in the Hempstead Regional. They were the first team to fully pass inspection on Thursday, and spent much of the afternoon participating in practice rounds. They did very well on Friday and Saturday, with one of the few mini-bots, and by far the most reliable mini-bot. At the end of the day, they were in 13th place. Saturday morning dawned with two more competition rounds, and they ended up in 10th place! This is the best Malvern has ever done.

With help from sponsors such as Conicelli, the team will compete in future robotic events while always striving to build a better, faster, and more reliable robot.
