THE
RAMBAM RECORD |
Their success began with the design and construction of their robot. The students used Legos™ for the robot body. Sensors and the Lego™ RCX, a programmable microcontroller, enabled the robot to sense the rhythm of music and dance! (Click here to see video of the dancing robot in action...) This design, named "Manhattan Project: Acid Burn" by the students, earned the team First Prize in the Dance Competition of the Northeast Regional Competition. In the dance competition, robots are judged on programming, construction, costume, choreography, creativity, originality, and entertainment value. The Rambam students were also awarded the prize of "Most Collegiate" which was voted on by their peers. Rambam was the only Yeshiva High School at the event and competed
against many prestigious high schools in the region including Stuyvesant
High School in Manhattan, The Bronx High School of Science, The
School at Columbia University and the Danville Area High School.

Ask any person what the focus of their tefilos will be on Rosh Hashana and invariably you will hear 'I pray for good health, nachas, and financial security.' In short – a happy successful year. All of these hopes and more are encapsulated in our traditional greeting of "L'Shana Tova Tikasaivu." However, there is another theme to Rosh Hashana which is oft glossed over despite its significance. One must turn no further than our machzor where we read the supplication of "U'vchain tain pachdecha" – "Place Your awe on all that You created…Let all revere You and let all of Your creations bow before You. Let all unite to fulfill Your Will wholeheartedly." "V'yaida kol paool" – "Let all that has been created realize that You are their creator and let all proclaim 'Hashem, the G-d of the Jews is king and rules over all." (Read more...) |

He wrote this note to the Rambam recently about his experience: "My history with the Rambam Mesivta will always be ingrained in
my mind, and without you giving me that push and believing in me
I would not be where I am today. With the support of my parents and
the administration I owe my success to you both. I will take only
a little credit for trying my hardest and being the best I could
be. (See pictures of
Shmuel with celebrities at the convention...) |
