Blue Crew Robotics: Team 6153

Blue Crew Robotics: Team 6153 The Blue Crew is a robotics team based out of University Of Maine Farmington In the summer of 2015, a senior at Mt. Blue Crew will be based at the Mt.

Blue High School met some students who were a part of a FIRST robotics team in a neighboring school district. Inspired, he gathered a group of friends together and went to an off season meet, Mainely Spirit, hosted by team 2648. After seeing FIRST robotics in action, the five of them were hooked. Over the next few weeks, they created a budget and pitched it to the school's computer technology teac

her, who agreed to be the team's mentor. Word spread throughout the school, and now Blue Crew has fourteen members and three mentors. Blue Campus, and will have access to Foster Career and Technical Education Center's vocational education facilities. This gives our team a distinct advantage: at our school we have access to a state-of-the-art composites manufacturing facility, various welding and machine shop tools, multiple 3D printers and a CNC machine, as well as complete access to the Robotics classroom. We are a 3D team. Technology, People, and values. What makes Blue Crew different from other teams is how it was founded. While many teams are created by a school as an effort to increase STEM curriculum, Blue Crew is completely student driven, and has been from the beginning. Students organized the visit to an off-season meet. Students created a budget and sought mentors. While we do have mentors that are instrumental in the success of our team, as well as the education of our members, Blue Crew takes FIRST's mission to create leaders one step further.

These robotics kids are going to shape our future. I think this every time I watch an elementary, middle school, or high school competition.

My thoughts go back many years to when my middle child, who was six at the time, went with my husband to the high school robotics shop. They were only stopping in briefly to pick up some engineering kits, but my child quickly became captivated by what the “big kids” were doing.

He stood quietly watching until one student walked over and asked if he would like to see what they were working on. My son, wearing an oversized pair of safety goggles, stepped up to a large metal cutting machine. The student explained what they were working on, demonstrated how the tool worked, and cut a piece of metal. Naturally, my curious 6-year-old asked if he could take the freshly-cut piece home.

FIRST is all about coopertition and we would like to give a shout out to Shop! We have been alliance partners with them 3 times in the last 2 years and our teams share a lot of the same values like community outreach and student leadership. While The Blue Crew will not be attending New England District Championships we are excited to cheer them on! 🤖🏁
