    Zero Robotics Makes Mercury News

    Hey guys!

    So a quick update on Zero Robotics – first of all the finals are happening this weekend! In case you haven’t heard, our team was part of the top-ranked U.S. alliance and has had their code uploaded to the International Space Station to be run on actual SPHERES satellites!

    Second of all, San Jose Mercury News decided to write an article about the Zero Robotics program, featuring us and our sister team 1868! Check out the story: http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_19769701

    About the Team

    Over the past thirteen years, Team 254, “The Cheesy Poofs,” has grown from one of the smallest programs in the country, at a struggling high school, to a large, multifaceted organization. In 1998, NASA engineers Bob Holmes and Steve Kyramarios joined Jason Morella, then an English teacher and now with the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation, in exciting students about robotics. With the downsizing of Broadway High School, the program was given a new home at Bellarmine College Preparatory in the fall of 2000. Since then, the team has won the coveted FIRST Chairman’s Award, the FIRST Championship, the VEX Championship Excellence Award and numerous tournaments.

    Much more important than any competitive successes or awards, the students of Team 254 have grown academically, intellectually, and socially. Team 254 members gain a better understanding, a greater respect, and a more profound appreciation of the benefits of a good education. Much like NASA and Bellarmine College Preparatory, FIRST and VEX are organizations which, in a profound way, inspire and motivate our students to avidly pursue their academic, career, and personal goals.
