started in 2010, kealakehe high school has 1 of state s successful robotics programs. team participates annually in first (for inspiration , recognition of science , technology), botball, vex (vex robotics design system), , mate rov (remotely operated underwater vehicle). team s formal competition name tiki technologies known colloquially tiki techs . members of team complete united states department of labor (osha) safety training gaining general industry 10-hour card. team members participate in stanford university design thinking(dt) , massachusetts institute of technology(mit) ocw satellite trainings. team participates in variety of community service projects give community supports them. in 2011, tiki techs received proclamation hawaii state governor neil abercrombie successes. more information team can found @ www.kealakeherobotics.org.

botball

kealakehe won judges award @ 2010 honolulu botball regional held @ hawaii convention center in honolulu. botball robotics competition middle , high school students. organized kiss institute practical robotics, botball encourages participants work constructively within team building basic communication, problem solving, design, , programming skills. each team builds 1 or more (up four) robots autonomously move scoring objects scoring positions.

first

in rookie first season, kealakehe partnered waialua , mckinney robotics win 2011 first honolulu competition (logo motion held @ stan sheriff center on campus of uh manoa. team awarded gmc excellence in industrial engineering award. victory, team received prestigious invitation world championships held @ edward jones dome in st louis, missouri.

dean kamen, founder of first (for inspiration , recognition of science , technology), created world s leading high school robotics competition in 1992. first provides varsity-like competitive forum inspires in young people, schools , communities in appreciation of science , technology. robotics competition multinational competition teams professionals , young people solve engineering design problem in intense , competitive way. in 2007 (after 15th frc season), there on 130,000 students , 37,000 adult mentors around world involved in @ least 1 of first s competitions. in 2011(the 20th frc season, first had on 294,000 students, 26,900 teams, 24,300 robots, 51,000 mentors/coaches, 50,000 other volunteers (e.g. events volunteers, operational , affiliate partners) , $15 million in college scholarships.

first encourages teams find adults outside of school environment can pass on knowledge mentors. there thousands of scholarships available students participate. fll robots entirely autonomous; ftc competition involves separate autonomous , driver control matches; , frc competition involves initial autonomous period (10 or 15 seconds) followed tele-operated driver control. on august 14, 2011, abc aired special on first called i.am first: science rock , roll featured many famous musical artists such black eyed peas , willow smith. will.i.am himself executive producer of special. program placed special focus on first robotics competition, though included segments on first tech challenge, first lego league, , junior first lego league. kealakehe robotics 1 of teams @ event abc piece.
