Selma based FRC (First Robotics Competition) Team 6004 f(x) Robotics brought home an esteemed award from the FNC District Catawba County Competition at the Hickory Convention Center recently.
They received the Imagery Award, which is presented to the team with the most impressive branding and theming. Winning this award is a remarkable achievement for f(x) Robotics, as it marks the sixth consecutive year they have received this prestigious honor.
In addition, team coach DJ Brooks was nominated to be a semi-finalist for the Woodie Flowers Award. This award recognizes effective communication in the art and science of engineering and design as a mentor, fostering a love for STEAM in their team. Brooks has dedicated a decade of his time and the team is incredibly proud of this achievement.
Throughout this season, f(x) has been working closely with their rookie sister FRC Team Chaos Theory. Chaos Theory is a brand new FRC team founded by f(x) Robotics under the NC Robotics Initiative, which teaches students new to FIRST and STEAM the basic engineering skills needed at a slower pace before moving on to f(x) Robotics. This competition was Chaos Theory’s first competition, achieving massive success. After making it through qualifications, f(x) Robotics was first pick and Chaos Theory was second pick for the 6th Ranking alliance, an outstanding achievement for both teams.
FIRST Robotics Competition Team 6004 f(x) Robotics was formed in 2015 as a community-based FIRST Robotics Competition team formerly housed at Smithfield-Selma High School in Smithfield, NC. It is now a part of the NC Robotics Initiative in Selma, NC. FIRST is the largest STEM-based competition in the world for students in grades K-12.
According to their website, FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a global nonprofit (501(c)(3)) organization that prepares young people for the future through a suite of inclusive, team-based robotics programs for ages 4-18.
