The official robotics team of Miami Beach Senior High School
For the 2024-2025 school year we will be meeting in Room 504 on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:30 to 3:30. The first meeting will be held on September 10th and regular meetings will occur throughout the duration of the year unless stated otherwise. Meetings are typically an hour long, although length and frequency will vary during the build season.
Prospective members are welcome to attend any meeting throughout the school year in order to inquire about membership, and receive a membership packet containing the necessary information to join. No prior skills or technical ability are required to join, and students of all levels are welcome. In addition to technical skills such as programming and manufacturing, our team relies on students that have experience in business/marketing, social media, video production, and digital art creation.
Before the FIRST season begins, we focus on a number of other events. During preseason, we work in collaboration with teachers and school organizations like the STEAM club to participate in SECME competitions - VEX Robotics, Bionic Arm, FPL Hydroelectric Generator, Mousetrap Car, Bridge Building, BrainBowl, Mathematics Challenge, eCybermission, and the banner, essay, and video. In addition to SECME during this time we do any necessary work to prepare for the FIRST Season, including inventory of materials, practice/skills oriented projects, and nominations for FIRST related awards.
During the FIRST robotics season, our team will be working towards designing, constructing, and preparing our robot for the upcoming FIRST competition. We often compete in one major regional event a year, although as we grow as an organization we aspire to participate in additional competitions throughout the course of the year .
