COVID-19 Efforts

Team Roboto, alongside PhyXTGears, ThriftyBot and the Digital Goats, are currently 3D printing “Ear Savers or “Comfort Straps” to provide to local hospitals in hopes of making things at least a little nicer for the people working the front lines. We currently have a page to request straps of your own available here (http://www.teamroboto.org/covid19project/).

Purpose Statement

Message us for details if you wish to learn about joining our competitive robotics team.

To develop ways to inspire students in engineering and technology fields. FIRST/Team 447 seeks to promote a philosophy of teamwork and collaboration among engineers and encourages competing teams to remain friendly, helping each other out when necessary. Terms frequently applied to this ethos are Gracious Professionalism and Co-Opertition;

What is FIRST robotics?

The varsity Sport for the MindTM, FRC combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources, and time limits, teams of 25 students or more are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program robots to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors.  It’s as close to “real-world engineering” as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team.

Students get to:

  • Learn from professional engineers
  • Build and compete with a robot of their own design
  • Learn and use sophisticated software and hardware
  • Compete and cooperate in alliances and tournaments
  • Earn a place in the World Championship
  • Qualify for over $20 million in college scholarships
