Rock Solid Robotics, Inc.

Our robotics team actively participates in local and regional competitions, showcasing innovation and teamwork. These events help our students develop practical skills and confidence in STEM fields while fostering a competitive spirit. Here the teams are preparing for the beginning of the robot game scrimmage.

Team Wisdom, Round 2, November 15, 2025

Team Truth, Round 2, November 15, 2025

Through hands-on projects and design challenges, our students build and program robots that solve real-world problems. We were fortunate to have Teresa Glasgow come in and discuss website building with the students.

The teams continued to research their solutions. One solution was to build a drone with air sensors to test air in a cave before an archaeologist would go in. Fortunately, John Boozel offered to come in and discuss his drone with the teams.

Erica Northrup and Andrew Johnson stopped by to discuss all things safety related and various things archeologists should consider when on a dig site or otherwise in an enclosed space.

Andrew Johnson discusses various safety equipment to wear when on a worksite with the students and allows them to try it on.

Erica Northrup goes over the potential dangers on dig sites with the students.

The Rocketeers listen intently as the Sharon Tiger Techs explain how their attachments work.

The Rocketeers reconstruct a smashed artifact to experience first hand what you can learn about the past (in this case another team) and how hard it is to put various smashed pieces back together.

Rocketeers were excited to test their robotics performance!

When the door is locked, you pivot to work outside and learn your core values!

The Rocketeers learned about their team while playing core value games.

During the educational scrimmage, the Rocketeers worked to improve their robots at the Brain Stem Barn in Baden, Pa.

The FIRST LEGO League Challenge division is an engaging, competitive STEM program designed for students aged 9-14, where teams collaborate to research a real-world theme, develop an innovative project solution, and design, program, and operate an autonomous LEGO Education robot to complete timed missions on a challenge mat, all while embodying core values like discovery, innovation, impact, inclusion, teamwork, and fun. The current 2025-2026 season, titled “UNEARTHED,” invites teams to delve into archaeology, excavating the past through hidden treasures, mysterious artifacts, and forgotten stories to inspire future ideas and technologies that connect historical ingenuity with modern progress. Participation in this division yields profound benefits for students, including sharpened critical thinking and problem-solving skills through hands-on engineering and coding challenges, boosted confidence and lifelong STEM curiosity via iterative experimentation and real-world applications, enhanced teamwork and communication abilities from collaborative project work and presentations, exposure to diverse career paths in fields like science and technology, and the joy of friendly competition that fosters resilience, creativity, and a sense of community impact.
