TEAM 1489
The purpose of the club is to develop students' interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) through robotics competitions. Robotics competitions foster student's interest in STEM, develop skills in team effectiveness, and develop a community of excited learners. VEX Robotics promotes "gracious professionalism", where teams compete against each other yet at the same time help each other with problems. The BRMS Robotics Club provides a place where all students, especially those with an inclination for technology, can thrive. We hope to inspire students who never thought they could do this kind of work, and to encourage students to explore career alternatives.

Vision
As excited as we are about the world of Science and Engineering, students and mentors here at Team 1489 would like to spread our enthusiasm and knowledge throughout the community!
Team 1489 belief that and hope the other will come to agree with:
-
Reform the way we approach everyday situations.
-
Open other's eyes to Science, Technology, and Math.
-
Build awareness of Engineering and problem solving.
-
Overlook differences and embrace similarities.
-
Traverse the gap between education and application.
-
Interact with the community and local businesses.
-
Create a final product using cutting-edge technology.
-
Strive to always better ourselves and the world around us.
We prepare for the 2013 VEX Robotics season, we understand the technicalities and necessities that will make up a successful year for the Bull Run Middle School Robotics Team. Still, we realize that we don’t have all the answers yet. We look forward to what we do not already know — the lessons and experiences that are sure to come — because we understand that a robot that can succeed on a game field will have little bearing on the future. The journey we take along the way, however, could make all the difference.
Robotics Students Goals are to learn:
-
Teamwork
-
Engineering/Product Design (Mechanical, Electrical, and Software)
-
Problem Solving, Strategy
-
Development of Algorithms
-
Self Confidence
-
Career opportunities
-
The prospect of new friends
-
The BRMS Robotics is much more than a class.
We are a team of motivated students who work together to accomplish a single goal: to design and build a robot as a team and to have it perform well in competition.
This goal, however, should not be considered the sole ambition of the BRMS Robotics Team 1489. While a competent and successful robot is important to us, we value the lessons and benefits of the VEX program.
Among these are:
-
The opportunity we have to work with amazing mentors who willingly offer their time, experience, and patience year after year, regardless of our performance.
-
The ability to learn from our successes and build upon the BRMS Robotics prestige on a yearly basis.
-
The fortune to learn from our failures as a team and our individual mistakes in order to avoid them both in season and in our future.
-
The immense potential for personal growth as we work towards the goal of our team, especially in the areas of Cooperation and Gracious Professionalism.
