Mini Mighty Monkey Botz Team 16536

Our Mission

Our mission as a team is to provide robotics education in order to increase knowledge and interest in STEM through the FIRST Tech Challenge. We strive every day to learn and grow in every aspect such as designing, programming, and building. But most important of all, we respect our team and community through Gracious Professionalism, and try to spread this consciousness to other teams and beginners!

Our Team

Our team consists of eight members and three mentors from Boulan Park Middle School, Troy. Every day we learn and grow in aspects such as designing, programming, and building. We strive to expand robotics education and increase interest in STEM through FTC & FIRST. Members have the duty of ensuring the organization and maintenance of the team. Over time, we spread our knowledge to other teams and beginners by welcoming new members. Finally, we spread the core values of FIRST, including, Gracious Professionalism, respecting individuals, safety first, and caring for our community.

Gracious Professionalism

As a part of FTC & FIRST, Gracious Professionalism plays a large role on our team, so we have taken the time to embrace it. Our work philosophy and methodology believe strongly in why it matters, and how it impacts the world:

  • Gracious Professionalism means that everyone should be able to participate in robotics and STEM and encourage others to leave the world better than we found it.

  • Working hard together as a team, no matter our circumstances.

  • Respect not only our team but our entire community as a whole. During game matches and award ceremonies, we support, help, and motivate helping others during tough times.

  • The first step to being respectful to other people is embracing their interests, and giving them a chance to pursue their dreams.
