Robotics Club

The Robotics Club meets Monday through Friday, 3:30-6:00, with occasional meetings on the weekends, especially during the six week build season. Students are not required to attend every meeting, but a commitment of time and effort is expected of each member of the team.

The Robotics Club is affiliated with the FIRST robotics organization that hosts competitions all around the world. Our school team, QUEEN 1975, is sponsored by the Akamai Corporation, of Cambridge, Massachusetts.Team Queen 1975, had it's rookie year last season. Since starting in 2006, the team has won the “Rookie Inspiration “award at the FIRST regional in Boston, and the “Imagery Award” at the Beantown Blitz, hosted by Northeastern University.

During the upcoming 2007 season, we are planning on competing at the New England Regional at Boston University and at the regional competition at Annapolis Maryland. The final championship event is held each year at Atlanta, Georgia.

All interested students are encouraged to participate. No previous knowledge of robotics or technology is required. Our team is looking for anyone who wants to have some fun doing something new and different. You also get to meet boys and girls from different schools across the nation and the world through the competitions.

For more information, contact Mr. Birch in the Science Department or any one of our current student members.
