title image content Who We Are /images/DSCF2291.JPG Established in August of 2015, FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Team 199, Deep Blue Robotics, gives students the opportunity to learn first-hand about essential technical and business skills, inspiring them to reach out into a world of opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. As members of the team we participate in an annual competition put on by the FIRST organization ([firstinspires.org](http://firstinspires.org/)). FIRST (For Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology) organizes several different competitions targeted at different grade ranges. We compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), as Team 199, Deep Blue Robotics. Team 199 consists of Carlmont students, invaluable mentors, and supportive parents.	default	/about	About Us	Information about Deep Blue Robotics	About	title content Mission The mission of Deep Blue Robotics is to provide students with the opportunity to explore STEM fields and develop engineering, project management, and community relations skills in an engaging and challenging environment. We are dedicated to thriving as a team, and further extending our hands to greet more members of our community with the gracious professionalism and technological opportunities that FIRST has to offer.	title image content History /images/random-image-of-team.jpg Deep Blue Robotics has grown enormously as an enterprise and as a community since our foundation in 2015. Based at Carlmont High School after breaking off from FRC Team 100 at Woodside High School, we have worked hard to grow from a garage team without adequate shop space and tooling, staff resources, or funding, to a well-equipped team integrated into our school and local community. On the team, any Carlmont student that wishes to join and dedicate time has the opportunity to learn first-hand about essential technical and business skills, giving them priceless career experience and intellectually inspiring them through the potential of innovation and entrepreneurship. Our progress has been dramatic, and our organization is expanding still. Starting in the 2016 school year, the team now has an official course at Carlmont High School, entitled Engineering Robotics, which is opening a huge opportunity for technical and entrepreneurial training and non-rushed development of our team's priorities, optimized structure, and efforts to engage with the community. Such a quick expansion would not have been possible without the advice and dedication of our mentors, the financial support of our sponsors, the invaluable help of our past and present core teachers, and our school administration's kind accommodation of us.	title image content mentors Our Mentors /images/100720.jpg We can't thank you enough! name role Alex Abbas Mentor name role Bonnie Wolf Lead Business Mentor name role Chris Moropoulos Mentor name role Dan Deasy School Faculty name role David Elliston Mentor name role Dean Brettle Coach, Lead SenAct Mentor name role Jim Wilfong Mentor name role Jennifer Low Mentor name role Karin Saltzherr Mentor name role Matt Moropoulos Mentor name role Mike Bushue Lead Fabrication Mentor role name Mentor Michyle LaPedis name role Mike Gottesman Mentor name role Nicole Bachelor Mentor name role Sevgi Carefoot School Faculty name role Steve Siefert Lead Design Mentor name role Susan Neth Lead Programming Mentor name role Wynne Chan Mentor
