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 2019 FIRST Robotics Season brought the team a new set of challenges and specs 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 a rocket tower. The catch, however, is that hatch panel discs must be placed on the cargo ship and rocket's openings to secure the balls. To score additional points, the bot also needs to be able to get on top of elevated platforms before the end. Through teamwork, time, and effort, Team 2634 has created 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. 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.
