The FIRST robotics Team 1922, Oz-Ram is made up of students/mentors from Hopkinton Middle/High School and John Stark Regional High School. Our team was created in 2006 and attended the World Championship in Atlanta, GA as a Rookie All-Star team. The team’s commitment to excellence was evidenced again this year. On March 6, 2010 Team Oz-Ram had the good fortune of qualifying as the number one seed and was awarded the silver medal at the FIRST Robotics Granite State Regional event. Our robot, “Tin Man V”, then went on to win the gold medal at the Boston Regional competition on March 27, 2010 and qualified to attend the FIRST Robotics World Championship competition in Atlanta on April 14 through 17, 2010.
Fresh with this victory in Boston we now have less than three weeks to raise the funds necessary to get 22 team members and 7 mentors to the World Championship.
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded by inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen to encourage students to pursue careers in science and technology by engaging them in programs that build science, engineering, and technological skills. According to Mr. Kamen, FIRST is one activity in which all the participants have the opportunity to enter the “professional league” as engineers, technicians, and scientists.
In 2010 annual competition 3,000 high school teams from across the United States (and several foreign country teams) were given 6 weeks to construct a robot that can kick a soccer ball into a goal. These teams then participated in 40 regional competitions.
The Oz-Ram Team worked hard this season to build a robot that in the words of Granite State Regional announcer Andy Grady, “…is the single most effective shooter that I’ve seen this year.” We are very eager to show the rest of the world how well, “Tin Man V”, can perform.
