What To Expect
- FIRST Robotics teaches gracious professionalism. We will follow that same principle.
- During the build season, the team will follow the engineering design process once the challenge has been revealed by FIRST. Then they will begin building a prototype.
- A Photo Release will be submitted for FIRST Robotics and TOAST.
- The team will be divided into smaller functional groups, i.e. build, program, strategy, etc. It is at this stage that the students will learn the power of diversity and teamwork.
- The team must prepare, maintain and present an engineering notebook. This is a requirement for qualification for the State/Regional Championships. Part of the notebook is a team presentation to the judges. Students will learn to speak in a public forum
