About Team 1208

 

The US FIRST Team 1208 (The Metool Brigade), O'Fallon Township High School's Robotics Team, works year round preparing for our annual Regional competitions. In 2009, the team competed in the St. Louis and Kansas City Regional competitions as well as the Championship in Atlanta, Georgia.

The whole team is student run, but we are directed and sponsored by Mr. Eric Curry, our eternally diligent and magnanimous leader. Our club officers, ~40 of them, must be enrolled in Honors Physics 2 with Mr. Curry to hold a position. Students select jobs at the beginning of the season and gain experience in those positions. We have 3 departments in our leadership: Electrical, Mechanical, and Administrative. These divisions collaborate to build the robot and to get us to the competitions.

We started competing in tournaments in 2003 after Mr. McCammack, our former electronics instructor, founded our team and since then our team has gained confidence and a good bit of experience. Along with Mr. Curry, we also receive a good deal of support from our mentors.

Team 1208 draws off of three key mentors.  Chris Zahner, a loft engineer at Boeing, comes every Saturday due to his work schedule, and he is the sole reason our lifter works as well as it does.  Marc Rhodes, our mentor from the Air Force, is a past robotics member from his own high school.  When in high school, Marc drove his team's robot all four years.  Therefore, Marc plays a significant role in training our drivers for the competition.  Also, he contributes to the construction of the robot by supervising arbitrary jobs and instructing us on ways to improve.  Another Air Force employee, David Gibbs, contributes in large part to all the progress we make in the programming department.  With experience on eight previous robotics teams, David has a vast knowledge on possible improvements and on techniques which tend to work better.  He is constantly helping in order to improve the efficiency of our kicker and to show the programming team what they don't already know.

O'Fallon is a wonderful city thriving inside the St. Louis metro area. Through our performance in Robotics, we hope to bring greater public interest in the Robotics program and encourage our succeeding teams to further our success!
