The Team
Who Are We?
The Aragon Robotics Team is a student-run, student-built, and student-based robotics team centered at Aragon High School in San Mateo, CA. We usually meet every Tuesdays and Thursdays after school until around 5:00 pm, and occasionally on the first Wednesday of every month. Our current members and mentors are listed below. Alumni are soon to be listed.
History
The Aragon Robotics Team started in year 2000-2001 when a group of students came together and decided to create the team. It as started with only several members and now it has grown to around 25 members.
Now with more experienced members, ART members are able to pass down their knowledge during their stay at robotics to the newer members. While the veterans teaches the new members their skills, the new members continually surprises the veterans with their enthusiasm and fresh ideas.
Mission Statement
Aragon Robotics Team (ART) is an organization that brings together students, teachers, parents, and private contributors to encourage intelligent, innovative, and collaborative activities in young people as Aragon's students. ART is truly a team in which our members work together, which is especially evident in our culminating project: constructing a robot able to complete certain tasks in the annual U.S. FIRST (stands for "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology") Robotics Competition and W.R.R.F. California Robot Games.
Though projects are developed and built entirely by the students, ART welcomes professionals and mentors to help teach and cultivate pertinent skills, not only those applied technically in the field, but also skills in management and team dynamics.
