About

Team 1124 is a group of 30 students and 15 mentors (adult leaders) from Avon, Connecticut. Each one of our students participates in the FIRST program by using their skills to contribute to the team while learning new skills and expanding their knowledge. Each member on the team may be part of or contribute to one or more of our sub-teams:

The Management Team

A group of five students (a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and community liaison) who are elected by our team members each spring for a one-year term in which they work closely with the Team Coach to run and operate the team.

The Mechanical Team

Often referred to as the build team, the mechanical team is in charge of physically building the mechanisms and chassis that make up the robot, then putting it all together. The mechanical team also works closely with the CAD team in the design process.

The Systems Team

The responsibilities of the systems team encompasses two aspects: programming the robot and wiring the robot and its electronics. They work in the program LabVIEW to create a functioning machine out of the hardware created by the mechanical team.

The Community Team

Led by the Community Liaison (of the Management Team), the community team plans demos, events, and fundraisers during the off-season, and works on the Chairman's Award during build season.

The community team plans dozens of fundraiser and community demoes each year at local restaurants, events, schools, and places of business in order to spread the message of our team and of FIRST. To get in contact with the team or stay updated with current events, use the following resources:

The CAD team uses computer-aided design software in order to create a virtual version of the robot, which helps in planning, conceptualizing, manufacturing, and referencing. The subteam also uses our CNC machine to manufacture custom parts.

History

In the fall of 2002, a group of students from Avon High School initiated a robotics team, thus commencing their dynamic relationship with the FIRST Robotics program. Our team has undergone various changes over the years since it was first founded in 2002, including our sponsors, our name, and our leaders. In terms of knowledge, teamwork, leadership, and community activities, we've come a long way.Currently, the team consists of about 30 student members and 15 mentors/parent volunteers.

Team 1124 was initially named "The Cheetahs" after our primary sponsor, Cheetah Learning. Though they are no longer one of our sponsors, they will always remain part of team 1124's heritage. By 2004, the team had increased our sponsorship to include companies like UTC Fire and Security (previously Chubb). Along with the sponsor changes came a name change; in fall 2004 The Cheetahs became the ÜberBots, meaning "super robots".

Though our team has grown in many ways through our five past seasons, it was clear that we were destined for success since the beginning. In 2003 at our first ever competition, we won the Rookie All-Star award, forshadowing the incredible accomplishments which we have seen through the years. Since then, we have won various awards, the most notable being our first Chairmans Award at the WPI Regional in 2010. We have also won the Northeast Utilities FIRST Connecticut Regional 4 times in a 5 year span (2006, 2007, 2008, and 2010 ). We also won our division at The Championship Event in 2008, continuing with our alliance to the Einstein Field for the semifinals. The team has also twice won the Rockwell Automation Innovation in Control Award (2009 and 2010 Connecticut Regional) as well as the 2011 Connecticut Regional Website Design Award for their website: http://uberbots.org.
