Before build season begins, the team focuses on developing skills and reaching out to community. Starting in September, we prep the team to gain experience in engineering and organization. Veteran team members pass skills onto new members, who are able to perfect their abilities during the season.
Fundraising
Our goal is to raise $10,000 every season to fund the regional competition and materials to build. By applying for grants from local companies and fundraising through our school, we are able to make connections, relationships, and a robot.
Build Season
From January 5 to February 19, all FIRST Robotics teams build a robot from scratch based on the theme and rules of the year's game. Rambots meet 6 times a week to design, build, and test the robot before the deadline.
Competition
Rambots annually attends the Sacramento Regional hosted by UC Davis. The competition consists of high school robotics teams from all over the world. The last competition in 2018, Rambots placed 14th out of 60 robots.
