PLANO WEST ROBOTICS
Team #12977 |Team #14523
We code using mainly Java to work on control systems, sensor integration, and real-time debugging of software.
We use software tools to design, build, and improve our robots, utilizing various mechanical and electrical components to practice concepts such as torque, friction, power distribution, and mechanical efficiency.
Building robots is about strategy. It challenges us to think outside the box. Our team members have different skill sets, we effectively collaborate among sub-teams, evaluate game challenges and design robots to optimize performance in line with competition rules.
We can explain complex concepts in simple terms and present them to judges. We constantly involve in community outreach, teaching STEM concepts to younger students.
Many members take on leadership roles and learn to manage team meetings and promote mutual supports. We do fundraising, write sponsorship proposals, and manage our budgets. We are also active on social media, and created this wonderful website for branding!
