While competing at the FRC Houston World Championship, the team had the opportunity to make some new friends from all over the world. Pictured are teams from China, Switzerland, Turkey, and Israel.
Our team has been asked by Senior Writer Sean Gregory from TIME Magazine to have a story written about us. He spoke with four members of the team Joie Bogart, Alexis Danekas, Roberto Montoya, Will Tanner and our mentor Coach Robert Dean.
Our team has been invited to the Fort Smith Business Expo on May 5, 2017. Our team will be speaking to several companies about FIRST Robotics.
Our Team showed our robot at our local CV’S Kids Day. (And of course we had to have our own fun!!!)
Our own FLL team came home in second place for Robot Design!
Team 5437 sought out to inspire the minds of the younger generation by starting a FLL team. The team presented the idea to the school board with the help of interested mentors, and soon 2 FLL teams were approved. Team 5437 members have dedicated their time to mentor the rookie FLL Teams.
Team 5437 started in the off season game of 2014 as a result of a challenge from Rockline Industries at our local Chamber of Commerce Banquet. The $5,000 initially pledged by Rockline was matched by First Western and the team was formed. Rockline also provided a build area and an engineering mentor. The team originally began with 7 members.
Our build area is getting a new look!!!
