Our Team
Although there was interest in starting a FIRST Robotics team in October it was not until November that we actually received notification that we had funding and started organizing a team. We made huge progress in a very short time of recruiting additional team members, sponsors, and mentors. Since the official kickoff the FIRST Competition has been an integral part of our technology classes and as an extracurricular club. This is the first time that many of us are seeing a purpose to what we are learning in our science, math, and technology classes. Our Communications Class is designing our t-shirts. Our Woods class is constructing our shipping crate. Our Metals Class has been fabricating some of the pieces that are being used to build the robot. Our members have grown in so many ways including our ability to work as a team, communicate our ideas, and apply skills that we have learned.

Our Mentors
In a dictionary, a mentor is describes as "a wise and trusted counselor or teacher." However this definition greatly underestimates the mentors of Team Robonators. Our mentors can be better described as a person to go to no matter what you are in need of.
Our mentors at Team Robonators can even be described as a second set of parents. They let us think of ideas and carry them out, but give us helpful hits to slightly alter our plan to be more efficient or more stable.
Better yet the factor that makes our mentors the most unique of any is that a member of our team can visit them with problems that relate to FIRST and our robot or problems that relate to their own life. Either way a mentor helps to set us on the right path and helps us hit the ground running.
