It was two in the morning, five hours before my team’s first robotics competition of the season. We’d already worked tirelessly, but were planning one last test run before going to bed. The robot was driving over the ramp when, all of a sudden, it stopped. The tank treads that we had researched and trusted had snapped in half. Most of us yelled in frustration, but not our team leaders, Max and Matt. They picked up the robot, brought it back to the work table, and within an hour, they had orchestrated

entering my senior year of high school. I live in a suburb of Houston, Texas. My graduating class is over four hundred strong. Although this may be considered a small high school, the population is very diverse. I have been a member of the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) club at my high school for the past three years and will continue through my senior year. In the club we have people from all walks of life, immigrants from other countries, and students from all across America. We have different

sounds, we only had 6 weeks to build it. All of this during after school hours and on weekends. Now balancing all of stress of robotics, school, and life is not the easiest task. The events of my senior year robotics season may have been the most stressful few months of my life, but the day that set off the season would become the day I will remember most of all. Our robotics team was called Team SCREAM, our designation number was 4522. My senior year and last year on the team was one of the roughest

been implemented in educational plans to assist in the learning process. The following will discuss specific studies on the effectiveness of using robotics in education and whether there is a significant difference in the skills and ability level of students who were exposed to robotics compared to those who weren’t. The intention is for the use of robotics in education to increase due to students developing important skills as a direct result. In a study done on two-year-olds, it was found that children

his Gameboy. Mrs. Lindley organized and supervised the St. Thomas Episcopal Grammar School's robotics team and made sure my older brother and I were involved with this extracurricular program. I began to build robots with Mrs. Lindley in the "Junior FIRST Lego League" (Jr. FLL) where small, computer programmable, robots were re-designed each year to accomplish new and different tasks.

Kickapoo Robotics team, Michael Becker, Brandon Braun, Seth Armstrong, and Jacob Osborne with teacher Mrs. Lori Martin, traveled to Oconto Fall, WI, for a competition of the minds. On January 12th to the 14th nearly 30-40 teams from around the state competed with their robot designs for first place. This robotics competition primarily focused on the test of the designed robots along with strategy used and programming presented from each team. These teams spent months preparing their robots, starting

We are the Niceville High School Robotics Team, the Radioactive Roaches. We participate in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). FIRST is For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology and is an international program that reaches out to students aged 6-18 and promotes the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) in “changing our culture… for the better”. Currently the team consists of 20 students across all high school grade levels. The Radioactive Roaches are
