Robotics
TEAM SUMMARY
Located at Allentown High School in Allentown, New Jersey, Redbird Robotics was formed by an enthusiastic father in 2006. Back then, we mainly used handheld tools and had few members on our team. Currently, we have gone to the World Championship 8 times consecutively and have worked with countless teams through our data collection system.
Our team has greatly increased our outreach. Some of our outreach projects include running a STEM Club out of Stone Bridge Middle School and attending annual robot demonstrations at our local elementary school, middle school, and around town. Our team is currently working on organizing more outreach programs in order to expose more young students to STEM. Our goal is to inform more people about the importance of STEM in education and the impact that FIRST has had on students all over the world.
OUR HISTORY
In 2006, our founders had a goal. He wanted to start a FIRST Robotics Team at Allentown High School in order to create an activity his son could partake in and enjoy. However, Mr. Nalbone did more than that; he created a community at Allentown High School diverse in skills and hobbies, but unified in STEM.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to inspire students with a passion for exploring STEM and other aspects of FIRST by encouraging them to be innovative thinkers. Our team aspires to instill the confidence, leadership, and communication skills in our members, essential for success in FIRST and in their future careers. We accomplish this all while following our motto: Simple. Robust. Reliable.
