Our Matador Mechanics are working for change at Mount Miguel High School. Sharing what they believe Gracious Professionalism means forms the ethos of our work. Through inspiring acts of kindness within the community, teaching the value of hard work, and showing respect to everyone we meet and mentor, we are building an engineering program that attracts aspiring students. Through community outreach, robotics demonstrations, and sharing our knowledge, we are creating paths for students to follow. The Matador Mechanics welcome aspiring students with open arms, sharing our STEM knowledge, robotics and coding skills through hands-on experiences that develop interest and build real-world skills.
After Descartes judging was over, the Matador Mechanics went to work. They won their first two matches, then fell in the third when their robot shut down due to a short. They fixed their problems and ended the day ranked 5th in the Descartes league. They made it into the finals!
At League Championships, the Matador Mechanics were the 4th Alliance Captain. We finished in 3rd Place. We took home the Descartes Design Award, impressing the judges with our documented process of building our one-of-a-kind claw. Our claw's iterations and our Drive Team's ability to deploy its actuation in the game resulted in our FIRST EVER invitation to the San Diego Regional.
