ABOUT THE SPEAKER: We are Falkon Robotics - Team 589 from Crescenta Valley High School, in La Crescenta, California. Our team participates in FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Challenge, (FRC, for high school students ages 14-18). The goal of FIRST is to engage students at all levels in challenges that require practical application of their knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and math.FRC challenges high school students to build a fully functional, five foot tall, 120 pound robot in accordance with a new game designed each year. The game challenge is issued in January, and teams have a mere six weeks to build and program their robot. In March, teams meet up at regional competitions where they use their robots, their strategies, and their minds to compete at being the best to play the game, for a shot at the international championship in Houston.
Falkon Robotics - Team 589 has been participating in this exciting program since 2001. All of our work is student-led: our team is structured so that students analyze, strategize, design, engineer, fabricate, and program all elements of the robot and game strategy with aid from our mentors. On average, team members each spend over a hundred hours a month brainstorming, collaborating, machining, and programming the robot. This drive and passion for engineering and technology is the foundation of our team.
Friends of Falkon Robotics, Inc. is a non-profit established by former alumni of team 589. The goal of our non-profit is to inspire a diverse array of students to succeed in Science, Technology , Engineering, and Math fields by increasing resources available for program participants. Some examples include manufacturing equipment, prototyping materials, and computer hardware.
