BEAST Robotics: Who We Are
History
We are team 16253, BEAST Robotics. BEAST stands for “Be Excellent At Science and Technology.” Our team started in the summer of 2019 with about eight members. We wanted to start early to familiarize ourselves with the parts of the robot and to get used to the other people on the team. We tried to partner with Pine Creek High School, but none of the teachers were willing, so we work out of the McLean’s home. As time went on and school started, fewer and fewer members were able to make it to the meetings. Students have joined and left as their situations changed, but now our team is comprised of eight people who make up the Beast Robotics that we are today.
