ABOUT US

 

We are a small robotics team (the 4491 Richmond Knights) from Richmond Regional High School.  This year, our team consists of 11 students, from Secondary 2 to 5, supported by 12 adult mentors. We participate in this competition because we enjoy being able to build a robot, program it, and see it in action! We work in small groups that regularly meet two evenings per week after school, and all day on Saturdays.
