FIRST Robotics Competition Team 8709
Funded Jan 23, 2023This year students were able to construct another incredible machine. The group of 22 students worked tirelessly over the course of the entire season building this years robot. The design underwent many iterations to get to the final result that you will see in the picture. The chassis had 4 powered caster wheels that enabled it to be very agile, moving in any direction, facing any direction simultaneously. The wheels where powered each by 1.1 HP Falcon 500 motors that gave the students plenty of power, each Caster was also steered by a 1.1 HP Falcon 500 motor.
The students didn't get the final performance results they had hoped for, but all of them learned so many valuable real life skills this season from the project. Many of the seniors moving on to colleges. We won two awards this year, a judges award, and our safety captain won safety all star for the Boston Event.
None of this would have been possible without your help!”

FIRST Robotics Competition Team
Funded Nov 4, 2021This project has made a huge impact on my classroom and our school. We have actually had a break out season even though we are rookies. We are potentially qualified for Houston and we are definitely competing at the district championship at the very least. We have won all awards a rookie team can win, and we have been alliance captains in our second event. The students worked a lot of hours after school to build an amazing robot. Thank you for believing in me and the students project.
Highest Rookie Seed award
Rookie inspiration Award
Rookie All star Award
after week 4 we are ranked 27th out of 183 in New England”
