VOlunteering as a Team

1/26/2019

Team 6239 volunteered 25 students, mentors and parents for the @FTCTeams PG County Qualifier at Parkdale High School - it was an amazingly valuable experience. We were assigned as judges, Dean's List Interviewers, Referees, Queuers - it was so enlightening. It gave us incredible insight into the tremendous amount of work that it takes to run a tournament #Team6239 #gotpi #omgrobots #FIRST #IrrationalEng #BowieStateUniversity #firstrobotics #destinationdeepspace, #FRC4949

Today we swapped out our old CIM for the new brushless motors. The REV NEO Brushless Motor is the first brushless motor designed to meet the unique demands of the FRC community. NEO offers an incredible power density due to its compact size and reduced weight. Designed to have similar performance characteristics and matching mounting features, NEO can be a drop-in replacement for CIM-style motors.

SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY

Team 6239 has a close relationship with Team 4949 from Parkdale HS. We share idea, friendship, mentors, and so much more. For the past two years Team 6239 has run a joint Safety Meeting at Parkdale so that all the students, mentors and parents can be aware of the Culture of Safety that FIRST Robotics encourages. Our Business Sub-Team ran the meeting with the help of our award winning Alumni Mentor, Vanessa. Caroline and Lillian presented the materials. Afterward we shared a meal and it was a fantastic experience.
