Contact us: contact@albertonpantherrobotics.org or (406) 880-4919 (Nathan Morris).
Unfortunately we had very low numbers of people that RSVP'd for the event so we are going to cancel the Alberton FTC Workshop/Scrimmage. We hope you'll join us for future events!
Beginning this Fall we are starting a new FLL Challenge and FLL Explore team. (Read: "What is FLL?")
Students in grades 2-6 are welcome to join!
These clubs are pending admin and school board approval, so it will be a few weeks before it is up and going, and details may be subject to change.
Dr. Dessye Dee Clark will be mentoring the FLL Challenge team (grades 4-6) and is planning to hold weekly after school meetings. Email her at CoachClark@AlbertonPantherRobotics.org.
Sammie Stewart, our 6th grade teacher, will be mentoring the FLL Explore (grades 2-4) team. Email her at CoachStewart@AlbertonPantherRobotics.org.
Nathan Morris will be helping to handle school permission slips, contact info forms, etc. Email him at CoachMorris@AlbertonPantherRobotics.org.
FTC teams have started up, but it's not too late to join! Sign up by emailing Mr. Morris (coachmorris@albertonpantherrobotics.org) or using the Google Form linked on the Get Involved page to make sure I have your contact info to get notified.
FLL - these clubs are pending official approval by admin and the school board so we won't have any meetings until after the September 9th board meeting. We will hold a parent information meeting at that point and get a consensus about best days for practices. Sign up using the Google Form linked on the Get Involved page to make sure I have your contact info to get notified.
Congratulations Mahlon and Varuna for taking Silver in the middle school division of the SkillsUSA NLSC Urban Search & Rescue Robotics National Championship in Atlanta! This was a tremendous accomplishment and especially incredible since this is the first time we've competed at the national level in robotics. Great job guys! Click here to read more.
Meet the Alberton Panther Robotics team! We're a group of dedicated students passionate about tackling real-world challenges through the exciting field of robotics. Our journey has taken us through the dynamic world of the First Tech Challenge (FTC), where we built our foundational knowledge of robotics design, engineering principles, and the power of teamwork. Building on that experience, we then dove into the more complex and realistic arena of the SkillsUSA Urban Search and Rescue Robotics competition. Here, we applied our skills to design and construct an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) robot. This involved navigating a simulated urban landscape, identifying, and safely 'disposing' of simulated ordnance – a demanding project that pushed our problem-solving abilities and engineering ingenuity to new heights. This challenging journey has been incredibly rewarding, fostering significant growth in our technical skills and collaborative spirit. We're thrilled to share our achievements and our passion for robotics with you!
