Robotics at Bishop Verot
Engineering. Innovation. Teamwork.
The Bishop Verot Robotics Program challenges students to think critically, solve real-world problems, and develop hands-on skills in engineering, computer programming, advanced mathematics, and collaborative teamwork. Whether they’re designing autonomous routines, building custom mechanical components, or troubleshooting code mid-match, our students learn to embrace both the complexity and creativity of STREAM fields.
Supported by the Diocese of Venice and fully integrated into our academic and extracurricular offerings, Robotics at Bishop Verot goes beyond the classroom—preparing students for the future with practical skills, confidence, and a passion for innovation.
What Our Season Looks Like
Each year, our team participates in the FIRST Tech Challenge, where students design, build, and code a robot to compete in a themed challenge. Competitions begin with a 30-second autonomous period—testing precision coding—and transition into driver-controlled rounds that reward strategy, engineering, and teamwork.
Our season includes scrimmages, official competitions, and community-hosted events—each offering students opportunities to network, learn from other teams, and improve their designs.
2024-2025 Highlights
While small in numbers this year, our students competed with determination and ingenuity—often going up against much larger teams. From kickoff events at IMAG and local scrimmages to the League Championship at Pine View and the DOV Lion Cup hosted right here on campus, our students showed resilience, teamwork, and growth.
- Developed an autonomous routine that successfully scored points
- Engineered a claw mechanism for precise sample handling
- Earned 1st and 3rd Place at the DOV Lion Cup
- Swept three superlative awards, including Design, Creativity, and Charity
With each match, our students not only improved their robot, but gained confidence in their ability to think critically and work as a team under pressure.
