Kayla Albright (Member)

Kayla is a first time robotics participant. She joined the team when one of our mentors found her in Staples. She lives in LaVale MD and is homeschooled. Kayla joined Extreme STEAM because she enjoys building and planning. Kayla enjoys video games and music.

Rich Bender (Mentor)

Rich has been mentoring robotics teams for 7 years. The first team he mentored was the 4-H Techno-Clovers. He lives in Accident Maryland (yes this is a place) and graduated from Northern High, Garrett College, and The School of Hard Knocks. Rich joined Extreme STEAM because he needed something to do with his extra time, because this was the team with the cool kids, and to expand Robotics. Rich enjoys learning new things with the team.

Extreme Frustration (Robot)

Extreme Frustration is the first robot of Extreme STEAM. It features a 6-wheel drive train and has a block handling system composed of 4 squishy wheels and a spatula. The art on the spatula was composed by Rich's daughter Kristen, and it supports flashy purple lights along the side of the robot. On the inside of the number plate "extreme frustration" is listed in numerous different languages, consisting of binary, morse code and more. (And yes this was frustrating to build.)
