Come join Vista Peak's competitive robotics team! We are a STEM based collaborative team focused on designing and building a competition level robot that will compete at a local, state and national level. Started in 2018, Robotics has become the main extra curricular for STEM students in particular to participate in at Vista Peak and has grown immensely ever since. Robotics at Vista Peak is open to everyone who wants to learn about robotics, design, coding leadership, team building and innovation.
The robotics team is currently meeting in-person. Our team in-person is brainstorming, designing, building, and testing the robot. Everyone in Vista Peak's Robotics Team are all here to collaborate and overcome challenges in order to ensure success as a team.
Our club shares a wide range of diversity of character and backgrounds, however, we all share a common passion for robotics and engineering. We are all innovators who love to design and work together to solve complex problems. Each person is designated to a role within our club in order to help delegate the seasons long work throughout the entire team efficiently. Here are some of our roles:
President: runs the club and helps organize, delegate, and guide club meetings and the design process
Vice President: assists the President and leads more specific projects such as design phases and construction
Treasurer: keeps tabs on club spending, budgeting, and equipment our club needs
Designer: generates concepts and researches VEX and other engineering principles for the robot
Builder: manages and constructs prototypes and final products
Sketchers: creates detailed sketches and models of the robot (isometric sketches and concept designs)
Coders: writes pseudocode and programs prototypes and final models of the robot.
Notebook: keeps the club notebook up to date and neat. Also manages other club documents such as this website!
Although we designate certain tasks throughout the team, everybody is involved in the Design Process and construction of the robot.
Our club utilizes numerous online tools and softwares to help us organize and collaborate. Due to the Covid outbreak, our team had to turn to online meetings in order to get work done. Through Google Meets as well as bringing home materials, our team has been able to reconvene every Friday to build, design, code, and discuss. We also utilize a Google Classroom to help store any documentation, materials, websites, and research we need. After every meeting, our club members help write in our team notebook to help us stay on track and to help organize our thoughts.
