Robotics at Chaminade 

Robotics first came to Chaminade College School in 2008. Celebrating its tenth year since conception, the Chaminade Gryphons are establishing themselves as a foothold in FIRST Robotics competitions. The team, now engrained in school culture, is making moves to become the independent leader of alliances rather than support. The Robotics Team is an integral part of the Chaminade Brotherhood as it allows students to explore their diverse talents in mechanical engineering, programming, coding etc. The 2018 Season was highly successful for the team-- Go Gryphons!

The Task

The 2018 FIRST Robotics Season brought with it a new set of challenges and specs for the Robot the team would work together to create. The task, a bot that could pick up, place and throw 33cmx33cmx27 cubes into bins, slots or stack onto weighing scales. To score additional points, the bot also needed to be able to climb the weighing structure while weighing it itself at UNDER 120 pounds. Happily, 2634 made in under weight at a slim 119.9 pounds.

Highly Skilled Students

While mentors and teachers are on site to help supervise and generate ideas, the Team and its functions are student driven. The many hours spent in the Robotics room and carefully designing and engineering the robot, as well as testing, are at the hands of the students. 

Thank you for the support!

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