Ramona Convent Secondary School Robotics Team Pushes Through Competition Season

From the start of January to the end of March, Ramona Rampage Robotics Team worked diligently on their robot to prepare for two local competitions for the “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology” (FIRST) organization. With their collaboration and skills of innovation, they created a working robot.

Their robot, Tigatron, has the ability to pick up cones and cubes through a clamp mechanism using Java for code. Ramona Rampage competed against 44 teams in the LA and Port Hueneme regional competitions. They strategized with other teams, worked under pressure, and expanded their vision of the STEM world. Ramona Rampage is currently working on off-season activities such as programming workshops and community outreach. They hope to continue to empower each other and other girls to join the STEM community and enhance their technological skills.

Ramona, a welcoming Catholic college-prep high school for young women committed to excellence in education, graduates empowered, resilient, socially conscious leaders well prepared to meet the challenges of life as contributive members of the global community with the strength of a legacy of more than 130 years of distinction.
