WHO IS TEAM 2471?
We are Team 2471, also known as Team Mean Machine, a group of high school students from Camas, Hockinson, and Washougal Washington school districts. We compete in annual FIRST Robotics Competitions where we use design, machining, programming, and business skills to build robots to compete in a special robot game that changes from year to year. Our Team Members have opportunities to learn new skills and work together as a team to take part in international level competitions. Students are encouraged to seek innovative solutions to solve real world problems, preparing them for any professional STEM or business fields. Please see our website below for more about us and about FIRST.
WHY DID WE MAKE THE POWER PIVOT?
For the 2021 FIRST Robotics Competition Season, teams were challenged to create an innovative design to facilitate aspects of health and fitness.
Team 2471 created the Power Pivot to help the mobility impaired and their caregivers. The team is building Power Pivots and making them available for those who can benefit from its capabilities.
Power Pivots are made to order and can be individualized with unique names. The Power Pivot is intended to be affordable, with any profit directed to support STEM education in our community.
