Robotics Team π

Endless. Passion.

Robotics Team π is a FIRST Robotics Competition team where we encourage and help high school students to learn about STEAM in a safe and active environment, the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). FIRST Robotics Competition is part of FIRST® and each year a new game with a set of rules is released. The game has all sorts of challenges in it, from picking up game elements to shooting game pieces and from climbing to balancing. Each year we do our best to build a competitive robot in the short span of 6 to go compete in the US.

Vision

Create an environment where infinite individuals are intrinsically motivated and inspired in becoming their best selves by engaging into STEAM challenges.

All with endless creativity, endless possibilities, endless innovation and endless passion.

Mission

Learning individuals about the world of STEAM by integrating challenges within the curriculum of schools where individuals can learn in a fun and challenging way about these subjects. Learning not only hard skills like 3D modeling, programming, manufacturing, etc. and soft skills like presenting, creative thinking, planning, etc. but also learning the value of teamwork, respect and integrity. This will set a standard in making learning new things a fun and challenging part of their lives. In doing so, we satisfy our responsibility to our volunteers, community and the environment, and motivate others to follow our example.

Strategy

With motivated, qualified and self-​sufficient volunteers who are forward thinking and acting, we aspire to live up to our goal of exceeding STEAM challenge expectations. We make investments in research and development, as well as constant improvements to our volunteers and facility, and in doing so continually improve our capabilities. As an independent foundation, our focus is on the long-term and we strive to make STEAM challenges a commodity in education.

History

Founded in 2016 team π built their first robot. The founders of the team, Ivan, Anita and Willem were among the people who helped build the first robot. The 2016 robot named Primus did not participate in any competition since it was a project to see what it took to build such a robot. However every year after that the team did go to the US to compete in at least one Regional. Some performed better then others, but to learn more about our history click the button below!
