The Robotics Program at CCA
Students at CCA recently competed in the FIRST Robotics Competition, sponsored by NASA, GM, Boeing, National Instruments, and Johnson and Johnson, among many others.
Students were challenged to use a standard “kit of parts” and a common set of rules to solve a problem in a six-week timeframe.
“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.”
At the 2009 March competition in Dallas, CCA students received the Judges Award for overcoming extraordinary challenges to participate in this exceptional competition.
In 2010,Cornerstone Crossroads Academystudents were team captains for the 7th place alliance (out of 52 teams from 7 states and 2 countries). As team captains, we were able to select two other teams to compete with us in the semi-finals. We selected the team Jesuit College Preparatory School from Dallas and the team from Blue Springs, Missouri.
