BTW ROBOTICS
We are Team 1209, the RoboHornets, from Booker T. Washington High School. Our team
is part of an organization called FIRST
(For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), which was founded by Dean
Kamen. We have been a
team for
more than 15 years, and our team has grown to over 50 members.
Build Season
Build season begins in early January at the “season kick-off” where we and other
FRC teams
learn about the new game and its challenges. FRC teams have six weeks to build and program their
robot.
During build season, our team meets three times a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. One of our
biggest
sponsors, The University of Tulsa, allows the
RoboHornets to meet on their campus and use their labs while building the robot. After the robot is
complete, the team prepares for competition. This year, we will compete at both the Shawnee and
Tulsa
Regional.
