Robotics at Chaminade

Vertical Divider

Robotics first came to Chaminade College School in 2008. Celebrating its eleventh year since conception, the Chaminade Gryphons are establishing themselves as a foothold in the FIRST Robotics competitions. The team, filled with school spirit, is making moves to become the independent leader of alliances rather than the support. The Robotics Team is an integral part of the Chaminade Brotherhood as it allows students to explore their diverse talents in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, programming, media, and more. The 2018 Season was highly successful for the team, pushing them to work even harder to succeed further in the 2019 Season.

The Task

First Robotics 2019 Competition
Destination: Deep Space

The 2018-2019 FIRST Robotics Season brought the team a new set of challenges and limitations for a robot. The task? A bot that could pick up and place orange 'cargo' balls in both a centre 'cargo ship' and up to 7ft. 10in. in rocket towers. The catch, however, is that hatch panel discs must be placed on the cargo ship and rockets' openings to secure the balls. To score additional points, the bot also needs to be able to get on top of an elevated platform before the end. Through teamwork, time, and effort, Team 2634 has created GryphonX, a bot that meets these needs and the weight requirement of under 125lbs.

Highly Skilled Students

While mentors and teachers are on site to help supervise and generate ideas, the team and its functions are student-driven. Countless hours have been spent in the Robotics Room carefully designing, engineering, and testing the robot. Each component of the robot has been throroughly thought-out and planned beforehand, minimizing any risk, issues, and errors. With the experience that the team leads gained over the years, they can apply their acquired knowledge and wisdom to help build a better bot each year.

A Thank You to Our Sponsors!

 While the ideas themselves are student driven, running the team would not be possible without the financial support of the sponsors of Team 2634.
