FIRST Team 451, The Cat Attack, is a high school robotics team, consisting of students primarily from Sylvania Northview and Southview High Schools, but also from the surrounding Toledo Suburbs, such as Springfield and Ottawa Hills. We are an extra-curricular team that is sponsored by DANA Corporation. During the summer, and pre-season, we build robots and work on other projects to improve our skills for the six-week building period during which we are given a task to complete. After building a robot to complete the given task, the team usually competes in two competitions. Being on the team is a unique experience, and building a robot as a team teaches vital skills, which can be used outside the science and technology fields. These include working with a team, thinking critically, and using learned information to produce a working robot.
Our Goals
To encourage the creativity of our team.
To infuse enthusiasm, excitement and team bonding by working on technological challenges together.
To build confidence, develop communication skills, and learn how rewarding a career in engineering and technology can be.
To Encourage every student to become proficient in some area of engineering and develop leadership amongst our youth who will be the science and engineering leaders of tomorrow.
Mission Statement
Cat Attack 451's mission is to experience the fun, excitement, and hard work of using math, science, technology and teamwork to accomplish goals - forming a partnership between students and engineers in the process.
Excellence can be attained if you:
Care more than others think is wise
Risk more than others think is safe
Dream more than others think is practical
Expect more than others think is possible -anonymous
