Chatterton Middle School is proud to announce the formation of our First Robotics team! Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway, founded FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics. FIRST Robotics is composed of four age-appropriate levels; “FIRST TECH CHALLENGE” (FTC) is the level we will be focused on at Chatterton. FTC is an age appropriate robotics program designed for students to compete in challenges using their handmade robotic model. Teams of students are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots to compete against other middle school teams. Each team is required to develop a strategy and build their robot based on sound engineering principles. Awards are earned at the competition (in December); they include awards earned for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments. There is a new challenge every year, meaning there are new aspects to the game every season. However, games are always played on a 12' by 12' square/diamond field covered in rubberized floor tiles. The game is played by two alliances (red and blue) of two teams each, for a total of four robots on the field during each match. At the start of a match, the robots cannot exceed 18" in height, width or length, but can expand during play. In each match, there is an autonomous period (to perform a certain behavior or task,) followed by an operator-controlled period. Depending on the year, the autonomous period can range from 20 to 45 seconds (30 is the most common) and the operator period lasts 2 minutes. Along with building and programming a robot, FTC teams are required to create an 'Engineering Notebook' that documents their build season and team experience. It helps teams to reflect on positive and negative experiences and how to improve. It also shows the judges at tournaments what the teams have overcome throughout the year. It is the goal of Chatterton Middle School and First Tech Challenge to inspire and tap into our young people’s interest and motivate them to pursue enduation and possible future career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills.
* The above meeting dates may change. Hours may go longer and additional dates may be added as we get closer to our competition dates.
