We are the Marist Manatees!

​

At Marist, we have a First Robotics Competition, or FRC, team. In addition to being a FIRST competition team, before the season our FRC team also heads up projects for the Marist community. For instance, they recently assisted in building a T-shirt cannon used at school pep rallies and football games. 

​

Once the season commences, we set to work by analyzing this year's game and drafting a game plan. We employ a creative design process for the subsystems of the robot and we divide into smaller groups to optimize the implementation process for the game. We reconvene as a team to discuss the smaller group ideas and synthesize a design based on the small group work. 

​

In addition to the weekly meetings after school, the team also has class time 4 days a week in the Advanced Robotics elective. The Robotics Lab is also open every day after school for teams to work and collaborate.

​

Once the robot is built and programmed, we set up a model course, where we work on driver training and field testing. 

​

Then, we travel to 2 regional tournaments, where we compete against other teams around the state of Georgia for a spot at the state and national championships!

​

FRC is open to Marist high schoolers in grades 10-12.
