About Us
Who Are We?
Hi! We are the Mamaroneck Robotics Team. We were founded in 2014 and the first competition challenge we competed in was “Cascade Effect.” Our team has participated in every competition since then and has plans to expand in the future. From the 8 members we had in 2014, the team has grown to more than 20. As a team, our goals are to compete in local and regional competitions, learn more about the growing field of robotics, and most importantly educate others about the importance of STEM in the 21st century. We would like to lead our generation in innovation with technology and inspire others to do the same.
What Is First?
FIRST Tech Challenge teams (up to 15 team members, grades 7-12) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format. Guided by adult coaches and mentors, students develop STEM skills and practice engineering principles, while realizing the value of hard work, innovation, and working as a team. Teams design and build robots, raise funds, design and market their team brand, and do community outreach to earn specific awards. Participants are eligible to apply for $80M+ in college scholarships. Each FIRST Tech Challenge season culminates with local and regional events where qualifying teams compete for awards and a spot in the FIRST Championship.
