– 569A

Our Team

We are Team 569A! Excited for the new game Tipping Point, we are eager to build a fully functioning robot.  In our team, we are all very connected and are overjoyed to build new friendships with the new team members this year. We are all involved in many aspects of our robot. Our team has set many goals for this year, and we plan to push ourselves to achieve the very best.

 

Building

Our building team works diligently to assure that there are no mishaps or issues with the design. Our builders have collaborated to find the perfect mixture of speed, stability, and strength. Our design will help us to go great distances during this competition season.

 

Programming

Our team prides itself on autonomous and coding. We have excelled in the coding area many times from last year, competing with some of the best teams from around the world. 

Previous Years

Our team did fantastic in the Vex Robotics Competition challenges, Change Up, Turning Point and Tower Takeover and went to World’s in all of them. We were in the Technology division for Worlds in Turning Point and we won 1 award. We were in the Math A division for World’s in Change Up. We qualified through winning the Encore challenge. 

Our Robot

   Our robot’s name is Escargot. Our robot has an x-drive and flywheel.

 

Videos

    Our team member Nicholas has created many great YouTube videos about Vex programing in Vex code pro v5. This is a link to the YouTube channel.

Team Biographies

Nicholas

Hello, I’m Nicholas and I am a Junior. This is my third year in robotics. I love to program the robot and I hope to do robotics as a career in the future. I enjoy playing soccer as well.

Kacy

Hi! My name is Kacy. I am currently a Junior at MV and in my third year in the robotics club. I am a builder on the team that also likes to help with coding. I also play Varsity sports but still love to come to robotics club to build a robot. With all this experience from the club I am planning to go into an engineering field in the future. 

Janessa

Hello, I’m Janessa and I’m a builder for Team 569A which is pretty cool. I really enjoy learning new things so right now my hobbies are learning guitar and skating which I think is interesting. I also have a deep deep deep passion for the Cats movie and that really contributes to my overall outlook on life.

Josephine

I’m Josephine; a Junior at Murrieta Valley High, and I joined robotics for its competitiveness and team building environment. I enjoy STEAM related projects and getting hands-on.

Jenna

Hi! My name’s Jenna, I’m a Sophomore at MV. I have a love for anything that’s creative, such as art, music and writing. I’m an aspiring builder for team A, and I assist in anything the team may need, including writing in the notebook, helping out on the team’s website, and working on robots.

Jhaecent

I’m Jhaecent, and as far as our team is concerned, covid has taken a lot away from us, but that isn’t stopping our interest in the sport. As someone interested in the building process, the online process has been invigorating to witness.

Katya

Hi, my name is Katya and I am a freshman. I work on the website for team A and I am excited to learn all about robotics this year.  I love music and butterflies, and I also enjoy crafting. 

Richie

Representing Team 569A as the Tiny Giant, Richie is the driver of our team. Despite his lack of experience with this only being his second year in robotics, he’s very competent in most areas, proving that he’s invaluable. He hopes that this year allows us a season to play in. 

Jason

Hello, I’m Jason, I’m a builder on the team and I love it. I have been in robots for 5 years (my favorite game is starstruck). Covid has been rough, but in terms of building me and Brock are the dream team duo this year.
