My Students
My robotics team is an eclectic collection of students from AP and IB students to students with special needs. We are one of the oldest teams in South Carolina. In recent years, my team has increased from 17 to 48 students. They attend not only my school, but also schools from adjacent school districts and a few home schooled students. With this degree of diversity, you could almost suspect the team to be fragmented. However, the team is very much like a family, with everyone supporting one another.
The team does more than build robots.
They learn the soft skills that are important in college and future careers. They learn how to work together, communicate their ideas in ways that others can understand, and they learn to listen to others. During competitions, they recognize that they need to cooperate with other teams to build a winning alliance.
My Project
A robotics team is only as good as its robot. And a robot is only as good as its components. Our team has enjoyed being able to build two robots per season: a competition robot and a practice robot. However, we can only keep this momentum going if we are able to obtain quality parts.
To succeed in an FRC event, our team needs the highest quality parts and components.
After a wonderful season this year and competing at the World Championship in Houston, I want to provide my team with the best of the best so that we can return to the Championship. AndyMark stocks the best robotics parts in the industry.
More than half of students from low‑income households
