Fall Programs and Robotics Teams

2022-2023 FLL Robotics Team

The middle school robotics team YinzGirlz, hosted by MySTEM Academy, won the Champion's Award in the FIRST Lego League Razorback Open Invitational from May 18 to 21 at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas. They competed against 80 International Teams and proudly represented Western PA, USA.

Using advanced proportional control coding and sensors to improve navigation accuracy and alignment techniques, they built a robot to solve all the missions on the 2023 FLL Super Powered Challenge season.

Yinz Girlz applied for a pattent on energy harvesting from dog walking for their innovation project. They also spent 20-40 hours working to spread STEM knowledge to several communities in the Pittsburgh area.

Congratulations, Viana Chopra, Piya Dargan, Kaya Gandhi, Seoni Gandhi, Shamita Panat, Olivia Romanow, and Keerthana Visveish.

22022-2023 FLL Robotics Team

FLL Robotics Team Infinite Loop, hosted by MySTEM Academy, participated in the Waffle FIRST Lego League US Open Event with 75 teams worldwide at WPI in Worcester, Massachusetts.

They won one of the prestigious Robot Design Awards and proudly represented Southwest PA in this International Event.

They solved all the 2023 FLL Super Powered Challenge season missions by building a compact robot and programming it with advanced codings, such as path correction, stall detection, and proportional control using color and gyro sensors.

Their Infinite Precision Speed Robot can quickly and accurately position anywhere in the field using mechanical guiders and combinations of gears to balance speed and power.

Congratulations, Jesse Guo, Aayush Iyer, Nathan Leckey, Aarush Patil, Kiran Thosani, Shalin Thosani, Victor Zhang, and Vivian Zhang.
