White Hill Robotics

Marin Metalworks helps us with our combat robots!

Alec Shaw at Marin Metal Works went above and beyond helping us cut out the parts for our combat robots. We have visited twice so far and have more shiny parts for our robots of destruction.

See more of our visit here.

The Doctor is coming too!

White Hill Robotics and Revolution 9 are in the Fairfax Ecofest Parade today!

White Hill Robotics hits the San Anselmo-Fairfax Patch! Team Robomaniacs win 2nd place for Innovative Solutions Award Check out the San Andselmo Fairfax Patch article!
The RoboManiacs won 2nd place in the Innovative Solution Category for FLL NorCal Championships on Feb 3 2013. Great Job, Team!	RoboManiacs get an Innovative Solution Award!
Our goal is using robotics as a medium to bring science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) into their lives. We are participating in First Lego League(FLL).We have 3 teams with 10 kids per team. They work together to design, build and program a Lego Mindstorm robot, which will have to go out on a field and perform missions that have points assigned to each mission. There is a 2 minute 30 second time limit.The other component to the competition is to create an innovative solution to a problem. The solution is based on a theme for each year. This year’s theme is Senior Solutions.At the competition, the teams will have to run robot missions 4 times during the day. (There are videosshowing last year’s teams to give you an idea of what happens.) Teams present  to judges behind closed doors during the day.They give a presentation on their robot (its design, roles they played on the team, its programming), their innovative solution (it can be in any form – creative presentations help!), and on core values of First Lego League (often this is a team building exercise).  Core values in First Lego League include: We are a team. We do the work to find solutions with guidance from our coaches and mentors. We know our coaches and mentors don’t have all the answers; we learn together. We honor the spirit of friendly competition. What we discover is more important than what we win. We share our experiences with others. We display Gracious Professionalism® and Coopertition® in everything we do. We have FUN!
