Team 100

sandhill_challengeWe joined the FIRST robotics during 1995, becoming the first team on the west coast to participate in this event. The team adopted the slogan "Student Run Student Built," which has remained the guiding principle for Team 100 ever since. Students are always given the first say in how the robot should be built and how the team should be run, while encouraged to ask for help and direction from their numerous and involved mentors

The goals of Team 100 students have always been: to acquire real-life skills, gain experience engineering hands-on.

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.

In 2006 DreamWorks approached Team 100 with an exciting offer. DreamWorks had already sponsored a team near their L.A. offices and was now looking to sponsor a team close to their Redwood City offices. We visited the DreamWorks headquarters and gave a presentation on our robot. DreamWorks was very impressed and agreed to sponsor us with funds and animation mentors. DreamWorks P.D.I. is our primary sponsor; the team gives an annual presentation to DreamWorks, as well as going as a team to see all major DreamWorks movies!
