Team History
Throughout our twelve years of being Team 888 Glenelg Robotiators, the
team has built more than just robots; we have made friendships that will
last a lifetime and build character. Each competition brings the creativity
out of everyone. The team works together on seeing the clues, making
designs, building prototypes, and finishing the task. Dean Sheridan has
been the one who has started robotics, starting as a class for school
then turning into an after school club. Our mentors have stuck with us
even after graduating Glenelg to help out students. Our team is unique
because students design and build robots, function without outside
assistance, and work with each other to overcome challenges.
