Welcome!

We are a group of high school stu­dents and adult vol­un­teers that learn, ex­plore, and cel­e­brate sci­ence and tech­nol­ogy. Through the in­ter­na­tional or­ga­ni­za­tion FIRST, For In­spi­ra­tion and Recog­ni­tion in Sci­ence and Tech­nol­ogy, we build a ro­bot to com­pete each year. We ex­pe­ri­ence ex­cite­ment of the chal­lenge, cre­ate life-long re­la­tion­ships, and have fun. But we do much more than that. Through col­lab­o­ra­tion and lead­er­ship from stu­dents and men­tors, ours stu­dents de­velop work ethic, pro­fes­sion­al­ism, and pride.

Our team en­cour­ages younger stu­dents to ex­pe­ri­ence the same ex­cite­ment of en­gi­neer­ing through pro­grams like FLL and VEX. The Wauke­sha VEX League Com­pe­ti­tion and League Nights are hosted by our team. Along with VEX, we also hold FLL com­pe­ti­tions and en­cour­age mem­bers to men­tor FLL teams. In both of these venues, and in many oth­ers, we dis­play our ro­bot and en­lighten them about FRC. Through this, we ex­cite, in­spire and cel­e­brate en­gi­neer­ing.

Presentations By Abby Lewis on April 29th, 2014

Af­ter com­pe­ti­tion, our team has hit the ground run­ning with pre­sen­ta­tions and sum­mer plan­ning. This Fri­day we have two pre­sen­ta­tions planned at the lo­cal el­e­men­tary school, Mead­ow­brook, as well as at a STEM for Girls event. Through these pre­sen­ta­tions we hope to spread our pas­sion for ro­bot­ics and the many skills it can teach. At STEM for girls es­pe­cially, we hope to ad­dress the ap­palling gen­der gap in STEM fields and on our team by teach­ing these stu­dents what amaz­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties are avail­able and by help­ing them dis­cover their pas­sions in these ar­eas. The fol­low­ing Mon­day we will travel to Hill­crest, an­other el­e­men­tary school in the dis­trict, with a sim­i­lar pur­pose.

 

In ad­di­tion to our in­ter­ac­tions with younger stu­dents, we have been main­tain­ing con­nec­tions with our com­mu­nity through events in­clud­ing a re­cent pre­sen­ta­tion at Rock­well Au­toma­tion’s Take Your Child to Work Day. Our team feels it is cru­cial to demon­strate the mean­ing of FIRST through­out the en­tire year and spread this to the com­mu­nity at large. Spon­sor­ship, while es­sen­tial to our team, is never a one way street.

 

Robot Name By Abby Lewis on February 22nd, 2014

The name for this year’s ro­bot has been cho­sen! In keep­ing with the tra­di­tion of nam­ing our ro­bot af­ter Greek Gods, our team unan­i­mously de­cided this morn­ing upon the name Her­mes. Here is a lit­tle back­ground on this name:

 

Hermes is the Greek god of transitions and boundaries, which fits in very well with the three divisions on the field and assist points between regions. He was known for being quick and cunning, and his role was to deliver messages between the mortals and the divine, which in the context of our FRC game could translated to delivering the ball between robots. He was also the protector of travelling (between zones), herdsmen (we herd the ball), thieves (defense), trade (passing the ball), and perhaps most relevantly, invention. In addition, he flies on winged sandals, which could relate to us shooting the ball into the high goal or over the truss.
As depicted in specific classical literature, Hermes draws even more direct connections to this year’s competition. In the Iliad, Hermes was depicted as the bringer of good luck (which is always helpful) and a guide and guardian, as well as “excellent in all the tricks”. This relates perfectly, seeing as how in driver practice the drive teams have been actively working on strategies and “tricks” for every scenario in our match playbook. In Aesop’s fables, Hermes is featured as a provider of hospitality (coopertition) and was burdened with assigning each person their share of intelligence. In the The Homeric hymn to Hermes, he was discussed as “one who was soon to show forth wonderful deeds” and by the look of our robot this year, this is going to be quite true for us.
Stay tuned for further developments as we rapidly approach the Milwaukee competition!

Competition Season: Week 1 By Andrew Labott on February 22nd, 2014

CORE suc­cess­fully bagged the com­pe­ti­tion ro­bot on Tues­day night, and thus end­ing the build sea­son for 2014. As the team tran­si­tions into com­pe­ti­tion prep, the me­chan­i­cal group is work­ing on fin­ish­ing the sec­ond ro­bot so our dri­ver’s can start prac­tic­ing. Also, the pro­gram­ming sub-team is wait­ing for the ro­bot to work on code while Con­trols is wiring the ro­bot, work­ing closely with me­chan­i­cal stu­dents. Other non-ro­bot re­lated sub-teams are prepar­ing for the Wis­con­sin Re­gional. Chair­man’s is work­ing on the Chair­man’s pre­sen­ta­tion and video, while the web de­sign sub-team is push­ing out a new up­date to CORE’s web­site. As a team, we are get­ting ready to per­form our best for the Wis­con­sin Re­gional, and car­ry­ing the mo­men­tum from pre­vi­ous weeks into the com­pe­ti­tion sea­son.

Students and mentors collaborate to meet the build season deadline.

Stu­dents and men­tors col­lab­o­rate to meet the build sea­son dead­line.

Team Number: 2062
Team Location: Wauke­sha, Wis­con­sin
Our name stands for Com­mu­nity of Ro­botic En­gi­neers, and that is just what we are – we are from Wauke­sha, Wis­con­sin and ac­cept stu­dents from any three of our com­mu­nity high schools, two prepara­tory acad­e­mies, and home­school stu­dents from the area. We are part of a larger or­ga­ni­za­tion called FIRST. To read more about them, read the sec­tion above. We pair them up with great men­tors who teach them the fun­da­men­tals of ro­bot­ics and other life skills.
