Quasics Robotics includes 3 teams:
FIRST Robotics Competition Team 2656
FIRST Tech Challenge Team 5526
VEX Robotics Competition Team 9656
We are from Gateway High School in
Monroeville, PA
What we represent:
Our team strives to encourage young people to learn the fun of science and technology while
gaining technical skills and team skills. We participate in FIRST and VEX robotics competitions,
which both hope to inspire students to follow similar goals as our team. Our team competes in
two levels of FIRST competitions (FRC and FTC) and the VEX Robotics Competition. Both of
these programs are wonderful ways to inspire young minds to pursue passions in fields they are
interested in, not only related to science and technology, but also in fields they had not
previously explored.
Through the program, students are able to learn how to:
Design and Build Robots
Make Presentations
Work well on a Team
Work with Electricity and Wiring
Manage Money
Work With Professionals
Raise Funds
Program a Robot
Speak to the Public
Design and Maintain a Website
Create Graphics
3D Model
