"Robotics" Team or Club

[mtaman02]

I know of one School on Staten Island that is like team 341 and I have to hand it to them they have come a long way to be considered a team


1) A Total make over of the Robotics Room from a prior Machine shop design. (The room is now broken into 3 categories)
a: The Classroom - which holds work benches and computers & television set for the newly instituted robotics class which if im not mistaken seperate from the team.
b: The Field - which proudly displays previous years robots and 1/2 of the playing field surface (the carpet and tables for the various sets of controllers for the robots)
c: The Machineshop - which is an enclosed area with proper safety equipment in place (Fire extinguishers, Fire Alarms, Emergency Cut Off Breakers, FIRST Aid Kits) for the purposes of making and building a robot safely

2) A Robotics Class which teaches kids who are interested in robotics to learn the basics before joining the team as well as many other useful things which includes weekly projects with a small kit of parts to complete and test the project successfully.

3) Still fighting for Decent sponsorship

4) While the BOE is supportive of the team the school itself really doesn't shed to much light on the team.

5) Robotics has a spending account but i think its in general and not for the team or the class. mainly for tooling supplies


and probably alot more that hasn't been listed
