Robotics Team - 2020

Team Overview

Team History

SMbly Required, FIRST team 5805, all began with the inclusion of robotics into Santa Margarita Catholic High School's curriculum during the 2014-2015 school year. During that year, the students in the robotics class became interested in and founded SMbly Required began the journey with Vex competitions prior to the FRC season. Through learning about robotics on the go, and developing a team through the enthusiasm and excitement of the students, FIRST team 5805 was created for the 2015-2016 school year. over the past five years, the team has grown from a small group of students dedicated to VEX to 32 students who are passionate about STEM and enjoys FIRST robotics.

Mission Statement

The mission of SMbly Required, a student let robotics team, is to create a welcoming programt hat allows students and members of the community to explore STEM through the process of designing, manufactureing, assembling, and programming. Students, teachers, mentors, and volunteers with various backgrounds utilize their collective skills to work as a unified team. With the help of mentors, students are able to ahve a real-life engineering experience, acquire and master different skills, develop interest and passion, and have fun under the program.

This Year's Game

The ongoing impact of the pandemic presents significant and unprecedented challenges for all, including our community. Recognizing these challenges, including the need to minimize team total participation costs, and the fact that nearly half of the FIRST Robotics Competition Teams were unable to play the 2020 game due to the disruption of the season, FIRST has determined that the 2020 INFINITE RECHARGE game will be replayed for the 2021 FIRST^® GAME CHANGERS^SM, powered by Star Wars: Force for Change season. Over the next few months the Game Design Team will be looking at adjustments to the game, all of which you will learn about at Kickoff in 2021.
