WHO WE ARE

 
 
FRC Team #2811StormBots calls Skyview High School home base. Skyview is the Science, Mathematics and Technology (SMT) magnet of the Vancouver Public Schools and is a certified Project Lead The Way Pathway to Engineering high school.  The team meets at Skyview High School 1300 NW 139th St., Vancouver, WA 98685. All are welcome to visit us but please contact us first about your plans since our schedule varies based on seasonal events. You can reach us by email at info@stormbots.com. 
 
A team needs a lot of different types of talent to design, build, finance, document (video, web, CAD), organize, transport, promote team spirit, market, etc., it's not just about cutting metal and connecting wires. We have organized ourselves into various departs. Here is our organization chart.  
 
  • We became a FIRST Robotics Competition team is 2008-2009, our rookie year. We had just 12 students.
  • In 2010, doubled in size to 24 students. Seniors: Kyle, Calvin, Keaton, Brandon, Peter, Eugene,&  Josh
  • In 2011, we grew to 34 students, one-third of whom are are girls. We also competed in two regional events for the first time. Seniors: Samantha, Aric, George, Dylan, Cameron, Chad, Cody & Ethan.

 

  • In 2012 we grew to 40+ students and got first place in the Girls Generation competition.  Seniors:  Cody, Tyler, Jeff (President), Ian, Leslie, Hsuan-Ting, Matt, and Jordan.

MENTORS AND PARENTS ARE NEEDED FOR TEAM GROWTH AND SUCCESS
 
None of what we do would be possible without our mentors and parent volunteers. Mentors give the gifts of their time, life wisdom and professional experience all of which help us grow into mature, responsible and caring adults ourselves. They all come from different career paths, not just engineering but they all bring the same thing: knowledge critical to our team's functioning and our growth as individuals. They teach us to program. They show us how to build robots. They show us by their example how to plan, organize and lead a project. They give us help when we need it, but never interfere or do things themselves. Without our mentors, this team wouldn't be able to work and do the things it does. We thank all of our mentors and parent volunteers for the amazing gifts they share with us!
 
What?!?!? You're not an engineer? NO PROBLEM!! A FRC team needs many different types of assistance, not just technical stuff: we need mentors and parent volunteers who can help write a business plan, design a web site, create a marketing campaign, and more!
