MechXcel Robotics
Introducing Robotics
to the Community
 |
|---|
Goal
MechXcel's main goal and purpose is to introduce the next generation of STEM engineers to robotics through the First Lego League competition. We strive to ensure easy-to-grasp curriculums that are fun and enjoyable throughout the season. Our club is run by High School students with mutliple years of robotics experiences, and we aim to use what we have learned from robotics to give back to the community. We are dedicated to supporting our community by raising funds for local school districts. Our plan is to enhance robotics programs, providing greater access to STEM education. Through these efforts, we aim to inspire and equip the next generation of innovators for a technology-driven future.

2024-2025 Competition Season
Competition Walkthrough
FLL competitions consist of 3 aspects.
-
The Competitions (robotics, programming, etc.)
-
The Innovation Project (research & presentation)
-
FLL Core Values
During the game part of the COMPETITION, the players get 2.5 minutes to use their robot to finish as many missions on the board as possible. These missions have points that represent how good your team is and what place you are in the competition.
For the INNOVATION PROJECT, students will identify a real-world problem based on the theme of FLL that year and propose a solution for that problem. This year it is all about the Ocean. Students will present this project to judges.
Students are also expected to follow FLL's CORE VALUES(discovery, innovation, impact, inclusion, teamwork, and fun). The team, which consists of 6-10 students, will be judged on these 3 factors and that will determine if they go to the next level of competition
What Students will Learn
Students will be taught how to follow the STEM and Engineering principles to collaborate with their peers to create a robot capable of completing many missions using block coding and will also learn to research and innovate modern solutions to modern problems.
What they will be taught-
-
Basics of robotics (what it is and why we need it)
-
Block Coding and Programming
-
Introduction to programming through block coding such as Conditional Events, Loops, etc.
-
-
Engineering Design and Analysis(using resources to construct a robot for the season)
-
Creating a good design for selected missions
-
Using sensors and motors to create parts to do missions
-
-
Teamwork and Collaboration Skills
-
Presentation and Project Designing Skills.
