Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The 4-stage Viper Slides will provide our FTC team with the tools to explore advanced robotics mechanisms, such as lifting and extending arms for game-specific tasks. By integrating these slides into their robot designs, students will learn about mechanical systems, force distribution, and precision engineering. This hands-on experience will enhance their understanding of how to create reliable and efficient systems, reinforcing critical concepts in physics, engineering design, and problem-solving.

Our goal is to equip our FTC robotics team with the necessary components to build a high-functioning robot that excels in complex challenges.

By using the 4-stage Viper Slides, we aim to teach students how to develop versatile, competitive robots that can adapt to various tasks. This project will foster their creativity, teamwork, and resilience, while also preparing them for future academic and professional opportunities in STEM fields. Ultimately, we hope to inspire a lifelong passion for robotics and engineering.

Our students come from a Title I school, where financial barriers often limit access to advanced resources, yet they are driven, curious, and determined to succeed. Despite these challenges, they remain passionate about robotics and STEM learning. They constantly go above and beyond to push their designs and problem-solving skills. Their perseverance, creativity, and collaborative spirit set them apart, and providing them with tools like the Viper Slides will help them unlock their full potential.
