2015's Recycle Rush was Team Alumiboti's inaugural game. Based on their play in the FRC Finger Lakes Regional, Team Alumiboti was ranked 19th out of 45 competitors and received the "Highest Rookie Seed Award."
From its home base at St. Joe's, this group of students and mentors has grown since its initiation in 2014. First Robotics Competition (FRC) offers students opportunities to achieve the goal of St. Joe's President, Mr. Robert T. Scott, to "become the best versions of themselves."
Each year's fresh challenge gives members of Team Alumiboti a chance to expand their skill. Hands-on learning hones theoretical knowledge of mechanical, electrical and programming systems into strategies applicable to the real world.
Alumiboti offers students a chance to connect with professional adults, and try new abilities in the safe, familiar environment of St. Joe's. As in any group, members learn teamwork and communication.
A technical career may not appeal to every student. Team Alumiboti also welcomes supporting roles. Publicity, fundraising, writing, graphic arts, and organizational skills help Team Alumoboti thrive.
Though all these aims are all positive, perhaps the real goal of Team Alumiboti is the simplest: to have fun!
