Enjoying the day at the Oh Canada Ribfest. Mouth-watering ribs, refreshing drinks, and a can-crushing robot - what a combination! @OCanadaRibfest #CanadaDay2023 #omgrobots

For our latest installment of SideWalk Science we're focusing on the science of sound. We hope you have heard (via waves of vibrations travelling through the air to your tympanic membrane) that CRuSH is here too! #SidewalkScience #scienceofsound #omgrobots

Our robot CRuSH had a great time promoting recycling at the St Bernadette BBQ this evening. MakeShift students are looking forward to supporting the FIRST Lego League team at St Bernadette in September! #omgrobots #recycle #novelis

Last can crushed before our recycle-promoting robot “Crush” heads off to Houston for the FIRST Robotics World Championships! Bring your empty cans to our pit to see “Crush” in action! @Novelis @BallCorpHQ #FIRSTRecycles #canbotchallenge #omgrobots #AluminumRecycling

MakeShift had a blast leading 26 students from the HWCDSB gifted program through the building, programming, and testing of four “T-Bots” yesterday. Can’t wait to see their creations race on Thursday at the FRC District Championships at the FirstOntario Centre. #omgrobots @HWCDSB

We couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu at the @westernuEng district event - we had been in a very similar situation with our friends @team3683 before! We've greatly admired Team DAVE since our rookie year back in 2012, & hope to play together for many more years! #omgrobots

MakeShift were finalists at the @westernuEng FRC District Event this past weekend! Thanks to our old friends @team3683 for being fantastic alliance captains, and to our partners @frc6854 and @FRCRoboDawgs 288! #omgrobots #JDinspire

MakeShift is honoured to have won the FIRST Impact Award at the @westernuEng FRC District Event this past weekend! Thanks to our students, mentors, and parents for the countless hours you have contributed to shifting the perception of science & technology! #omgrobots #JDinspire

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the wonderful women that inspire us every day - from our mentors, to our parents, and of course to our awesome students. Thank you for being the role models who are inspiring the next generation of girls to pursue STEM!

MakeShift are the winners of the @CANFIRST Georgian College District Event! Thanks to our awesome alliance partners @frc1114 and @frc7659, and all the volunteers for making it possible! We also picked up an Excellence in Engineering award - a first for us! #georgianfrc #omgrobots

We are excited to be moving through the elimination bracket as the #1 seed with our old friends @frc1114 and our new friends @frc7659! #georgianfrc #omgrobots

MakeShift had a great first day at @CANFIRST #georgianfrc! Ended the day in first place, and have been having a great time introducing everyone to our 2023 robot, Pivot! We're looking forward to some fantastic elimination matches later today! #omgrobots

Our can crushing robot “Crush” is almost ready! We are putting the finishing touches. We can’t wait to bring it to a event soon! #canbotchallenge #FIRSTRecycles #infinitelyrecycleablealuminum #omgbots

It's that busy time of year when all FRC teams are racing to finish up their robots! As we prepare for our first competition, our students took the time to cut some parts for our friends at team 7509, @snpolytechnic ! Best of luck at your first competition! #omgrobots

Does this look like a can-crushing robot to you? We’ve made lots of progress so we hope we can bring it all together soon!!! #canbotchallenge #FIRSTRecycles #infinitelyrecycablealuminum #omgbots

Kicking off the build season with @celtxrobotics building the practice field! #omgrobots

Does this look like a can-crushing robot to you? Not yet but with hard work we can make it into one!!! #canbotchallenge #FIRSTRecycles #infinitelyrecylablealuminum #omgrobots

Getting into the festive spirit at Waterdown’s Santa Claus Parade!!! #omgrobots

Thank You @frc5719 and all the volunteers for hosting this years FTC Central Scarborough Competition! We had a great time!

Todays the day! The FTC central Scarborough competition and our robot Stack is ready! #omgrobots
