Who is the Pink Team?
The Pink team are a group of students and Mentors from the Space Coast Area. We are from Rockledge, Cocoa Beach and Viera High Schools. Our mentors are from NASA and GE. We have been an FRC team since 1999 where we got soaked at the FIRST tournament at EPCOT.
Each of us works in our community doing community service that have included Habitat For Humanity homes, Rebuilding the Oyster Beds, Beach Cleanup, and helping out the FIRST LEGO League.
What is FIRST?
FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is a unique varsity sport of the mind designed to help high-school-aged young people discover how interesting and rewarding the life of engineers and researchers can be.
The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams of young people and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week timeframe using a standard "kit of parts" and a common set of rules. Teams build robots from the parts and enter them in competitions designed by Dean Kamen, Dr. Woodie Flowers, and a committee of engineers and other professionals.
FIRST redefines winning for these students because they are rewarded for excellence in design, demonstrated team spirit, gracious professionalism and maturity, and the ability to overcome obstacles. Scoring the most points is a secondary goal. Winning means building partnerships that last.
