We’re a community group, a FIRST® Team and so much more – including South Australia’s first FRC team.
The team’s purpose is to excite young minds about STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics), by using a common interest: Robots.
As part of this, students get real industry experience, with help and guidance from dedicated industry professionals as mentors. It circumvents the age-old circle of being unable to get a job due to lack of experience.
Members
Our students come from varying backgrounds, and schools across Adelaide. All that’s common for the team members is a passion for robotics and learning – that’s the foundation of what’s needed to be successful in our teams. If you’re willing to learn, there’s always someone willing to teach.
Competitions
We have multiple FLL teams, three FTC teams, and one FRC team who have all competed at various levels of competition.
Our FRC team has also competed in Hawaii, and taken on the best at the world championships in St. Louis. And one of our FLL teams competed in Morocco at the International Invitational.
The existence of our teams is due to and relies on the FIRST competitions that we compete in.
Reaping Rewards
Students get more than real industry experience. Not only do they get to learn valuable industry-related skills such as programming, CAD (Computer Aided Design), and the use of power tools, but the social aspect is quite possibly best kept secret.
Teams and individuals have a chance to mingle in the team pit area, which often results in many new friends from all corners of the globe.
But there are other skills to be learnt too. Teamwork, problem solving and critical thinking skills are among some of the more important life skills that RoboRoos students pick up.
Social Activities
We are so much more than a robotics club, we are a social group that loves to have fun and spend time together.
We believe in friendship and enjoying our time together.
We have fun social events where the team can gather and enjoy themselves.
We also have a proven record of ongoing friendships from our students, our alumni tend to continue to stay friends after they have completed their time with the club.
