Nearly 400 San Diego high school students on FRC teams convened at the San Diego Kickoff Event at Kearny High School were they shown the AERIAL ASSIST playing field and received a Kit of Parts made up of motors, batteries, a control system, a PC, and a mix of automation components – and only limited instructions. Working with adult Mentors, students will have only six weeks to design, build, program, and test their robots to meet the season’s engineering challenge. The Stop Build deadline is on February 18th at midnight. Once these young inventors build a robot, their teams will participate in one or more of the 98 Regional and District competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration, and the determination of students. San Diego teams will compete in the 2014 game, AERIAL ASSIST, at the 8th Annual San Diego FIRST Robotics Competition held at the Valley View Casino Center (formerly Sports Arena) on March 6­8, 2014.

    IN THE NEWS 2021 T.O.M STEM ACADEMY MONTHLY NEWS JANUARY EDITION FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY, WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING OUR STEMTASTIC PARTNERSHIP WITH FIRST CHESAPEAKE ROBOTICS!!! BELOW IS A CHANCE TO MEET THE INSTRUCTORS WHO WORK WITH OUR SCHOLARS WEEKLY! MEET MARIAROSA MARINELLI OR MS. MARIAROSA AS THE STUDENTS REFER TO HER! Ms. Mariarosa is one of our STEMtastic instructors for First Chesapeake Robotics, which she is thrilled to serve! Ms. Mariarosa, like our students, was raised in Richmond! She lived in Jackson Ward and Northside as a child and also attended college in Richmond. She received her Associate degree in Science from Reynolds Community College, and then earned her Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Mathematics from Virginia Commonwealth University. She’s spent the last few years working at the Science Museum of Virginia as an astronomer in the planetarium, so if you’re there, please stop by and say hello to Ms. Mariarosa! When it’s not too cold outside, Ms. Mariarosa enjoys biking and exploring the outdoors. She also loves reading, knitting, and listening to music. Growing up, Ms. Mariarosa was very immersed in Humanities, so ending up in the STEM field was a bit of a surprise. Nevertheless, she is a lifelong learner…therefore, she is passionate about learning more about the world around her and STEM helps to build a toolkit to better understand the complex and always-changing world. Ms. Mariarosa absolutely loves getting to interact and grow with our MLK A.T.O.M. STEM students over the last few months.

  • Team Paragon 571​, Located in Windsor
    In a galaxy, just beyond Hartford, Connecticut, is the one and only Team Paragon 571​, located in Windsor. As we progress through the build season, considerable progress has been made. Build is nearing completion, Programming has produced more code, Web has further organized the website, and Imagery has created new team shirts and robot designs. Soon we will be fully competition ready! Imagery has finalized the t-shirt logo, sketched the button design, organized the pit book, and formatted the awards. We will be introducing Rogue571, our robot, into the FIRST Infinite Recharge competition in March. We are currently working at finalizing the details of the robot visuals. Our Programming Team completed the drive function and the color sensor portion of the code. Now we continue brainstorming autonomous commands to ensure we have a successful strategy. Furthermore, we have broken ground on the code needed to make the climber and the conveyor belt. The Build Team has made great progress in constructing our robot. First, we have completely assembled the conveyor belt (ball scoring mechanism). Second, we have begun construction on the climbing mechanism to ensure the robot will successfully climb to earn points. Finally, the chassis on the robot now has the proper gear ratio and number of motors. The robot is approaching completion and will soon be competition ready. -Team Paragon Co-Captains: GABBY AND OM ​ ​ B.T.S.

  • At World Robotics Competition
    By Stephanie Slezycki • Senior Program Representative, Dept. 686 EB EMPLOYEES ach year, teams participating in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recogni- tion of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition are given six weeks HELP STUDENTS to design, build, and test 120-lb robots for competition. The 2017 challenge, E FIRST STEAMWORKS, saw these teams competing on a steampunk- themed playing field. Each three-team alliance scored points by shooting balls to “KICK BOT” build pressure, manipulating gears to start rotors spinning, and boarding their airship. The alliance with the highest score at the end of the match was declared the winner. AT WORLD The 2017 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) featured more than 83,000 stu- dents competing on 3,336 teams from 25 countries. Over 400 of these teams from ROBOTICS around the world qualified to attend the FRC Championship held last spring in St. Louis, Mo. For the first time ever, three of the teams representing Connecti- cut were supported by Electric Boat employee mentors, who volunteer countless COMPETITION hours each year to educate and guide the students to success. 12 | ELECTRIC BOAT NEWS | FALL/WINTER 2017 The Techno Ticks (Team 236) from Lyme-Old Lyme High School attend the FIRST Championship annually as a member of the Hall of Fame, having in the past won the Chairman’s Award, the most pres- tigious award in FIRST. This distinction honors the team that best embodies the purpose and goals of FIRST; the Techno Ticks serve as a role model for others to emulate. At the FRC Championship, teams were divided into six subdivisions, each named after a famous scien- tist, engineer, or inventor.
