	Downingtown Area Robotics is ~~the premiere robot team~~ in ~~Downingtown~~. ~~They are made up~~ of:		Downingtown Area Robotics is a group of Students, Mentors and Sponsors, that knows it's important to get students interested in STEM ('''S'''cience, '''T'''echnology, '''E'''ngineering and '''M'''athematics) based careers. We do this through competition robotics. Our robots work in teams of two or three, working together as team on a common goal (not the robots that try to destroy each other.)
	*FRC Team 1640 - 2009 Rockwell Control Systems winner
	*VRC Teams 81, ~~82, 89, 1640~~
	*FLL Team -- New for 2009-2010

	Teams meet ~~on Wednesdays,~~ 6:30-8:30 at the [[Downingtown Educational Center]] 335 Manor Ave in Downingtown PA		Driving the robots in Competitions is a small part of what we do. From the beginning we teach each roboteer valuable life skills like communications, planning, getting a group consensus, cooperation and negotiations. We also bring to life STEM skills in areas of electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, programming by planning, designing, building (and sometimes rebuilding), testing and driving our robots.

			==Competitions==

			We build robots for two different competitions, FIRST RoboticsCompetition and the VEX Robot Challenge.

			FIRST Robots are large, at 28" * 38" * 60" and weigh up to 120 pounds. You are given an initial kit of parts. You can buy or fabricate most any other part that you need from any source. The robot can be either bolted or welded, no glue or tape is allowed. The robot must be designed, built and testing in six weeks. There is a limit on the numbers of motors that you can use. The robot is powered by a single 12 volt battery.


			VEX Robots must fit into an 18" cube and do not have a weight limit. Parts may only be purchased from VEX, but they can be cut and shaped any way provided there are no sharp edges. Parts may only be bolted together, no assembly with glue or tape is allowed. There is a limit of ten motors and/or servos. The robot is powered by a single 7.2 volt battery.

			==Teams==

			There are a number of teams that make up Downingtown Area Robotics:

			*FIRST RoboticsCompetition -- FRC Team1640, TeamSab-BOT-age

			*VEX Robot Challenge -- VRC Team81

			*VEX Robot Challenge -- VRC Team82

			*VEX Robot Challenge -- VRC Team89

			*VEX Robot Challenge -- VRC Team1640

			==Meeting Information==

			We meet Wednesday nights 6:30-8:30 at the [[Downingtown Educational Center]], 335 Manor Ave, Downingtown PA 19335

			We are hoping to start two "All-Girl" VEX teams and a FIRST Lego League Team.

			Come to one of our team meetings or contact us: Dewbotrobot at Yahoo.com

			The Steering Committee meets on the last Friday of the month at 6:15PM

			==People==

			Thank you very much to all of our sponsors!

			We would like to express our appreciation to all of our Mentors that work with the roboteers on a day to day basis.

			Each student that worked on a robot is listed with that robot. Across the years we have graduated some very impressive students, you may be or soon will be working for our Alumni.

			And a final thank you to all the parents that help us out.
