Team 100
Team 100 joined the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics competition during 1995, becoming the first
team on the west coast to participate in this event.
For many years we have invited students from many different
schools to join our team. Eventually, in 2003, a large group of
students from Carlmont High School, a neighboring district
school, decided to join the team, making Carlmont a permanent
part of the team. In the past, (2000-2001) we participated in
the Sandhill Challenge. Teams build "soap box cars" and compete
for awards in design, creativity, and much more. No mater how
small or how large the team may be,
we always try our best with the task given.
About FIRST
FIRST,(For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an organization founded in 1989 by Dean Kamen to forward the interest in technology in the younger generations. FIRST is based in Manchester, NH. Every year, FIRST issues challenges to students around the world. Different types of robots that the team builds themselves perform in these different competitions. The FRC (FIRST robotics competition) is a game designed by FIRST for high school teams. Each team receives a kit of parts in which they have six weeks to build their robot. FIRST FRC challenge reaches across the globe, and teams from all over the world compete to see who can meet that year's challenge. Let the games begin!
