• Bring local corporations and the team into one community

Founded in 1999, Norwell Robotics started out with only 12 students, but has since grown to a bustling team of over 40 hardworking and dedicated members. Our team has a variety of positions and activities occurring at once, including programming, fundraising, electrical, mechanical work, business, animation, and spirit. We work together to create a team in which anyone can become a member and find something that they enjoy doing.

Our team has been known to always take anybody that wants to join. It makes no difference if someone has been taking apart computers and assembling them since the age of 5 or just found out what a robot was the day before. Norwell Robotics has even opened it’s doors to students from surrounding towns that do not have a robotics team in their community. In the past, students from Scituate, Marshfield, Hanover, and Abington have all been active members of the Norwell Robotics team. On Norwell Robotics, there’s always a place for everybody and teach them how to become an active member and participate fully in the program.

Throughout the years we have had many important accomplishments, including being a two-time NYC Regional Finalist, winning the Curie Division at Championships and being a Championship Finalist. Not to mention, we have won several awards, including Leadership in Controls, Motorola Quality, and the Excellence in Design Award sponsored by Autodesk. In addition, individual people on our team have won regional awards such as the Woodie Flowers Award and Dean’s List. Although we are very proud of all of this and plan on continuing to achieve great things and win awards, none of the awards are as important as the experience of being on Norwell Robotics itself. Through Norwell Robotics, students have a life changing experience: gaining self-esteem, friends, skills in STEM fields, and learning important skills, like teamwork and perseverance.

However, our team is about much more than competitions and awards. Although we do work hard six weeks a year, designing, building, programming, working on electronics, and problem solving, to be the best at competition as we can, it’s not just about the robots. Norwell Robotics is about spreading STEM throughout our community. By mentoring FLL teams and a local rookie FRC team and volunteering at competitions, our team likes to give back to the community. We are a team dedicated to not only developing ourselves, but to helping and inspiring others as well.
