We are team 6340 The Marist Manatees!

​

At Marist, we have a FIRST Robotics Competition or FRC team. In addition to being a FIRST competition team, our FRC team heads up projects for the Marist School community. For instance, they frequently assist in building festive robots for our school pep rallies and T-shirt cannons for our high school football games. 

​

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

In addition to the frequent or 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. We also have our methods of communicating on Email, Groupme, text messages, and of course, in person.

​

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 in Georgia for a spot at the state and national championships!

​

 

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