Meet our team!
For the 2020-2021 Season, our team includes six team members: Jalynn, Joel, Nathan, Ellie, Jaxon, and David!
Jalynn
Business Sub Team: Engineering Notebook
Software Sub Team: Strategy
My name is Jalynn, and I’m a home-schooled senior. This is my third year on the team and I do the Engineering Notebook. I did FIRST Lego League in fifth grade and instantly fell in love with robotics, but scheduling problems prevented me from joining another team until learning about the Browncoats in 10th grade. I am willing to help in any area needed on the Browncoats. I’m interested in the Engineering Notebook, building, and possibly programming. During my free time I like reading, writing, listening to music, and talking (or hanging out) with my friends.
Joel
Software Sub Team: Programming
Mechanical Sub Team: Builder, CAD
My name is Joel, and I am 13 years old. This is my second year on the team and with FIRST. My roles on the team have been photographer, videographer, and a builder. This season, I want to do more CAD, programming, and helping with building the robot. Some of my favorite things to do include Minecraft, photography, and soldering together helpful gadgets of my own creation.
Nathan
Mechanical Sub Team: Builder
Drive Sub Team: Human Player
My name is Nathan, and I’m 12 years old. I’m a builder and a Human Player, and this is my second year on the team. I’m also homeschooled. I’m excited to learn more and make new friends on the team.
Ellie
Business Sub Team: Engineering Notebook
Mechanical Sub Team: Builder
Software Sub Team: Strategy
My name is Ellie, and I am in 10th grade at Providence Classical School. This is my first year on the team. I love reading and writing, so I was excited when Jalynn invited me to the team to come work on the Engineering Notebook. This year I want to work on the Engineering Notebook, but I am also excited to learn new skills.
Jaxon
Mechanical Sub Team: Builder
Drive Sub Team: Driver
Hello, I am Jaxon Phillips, and I have only been on the team this year. I love to learn about science and history. I got interested in the team when I was at the library and saw this team demonstrating their robots. I really hope to learn the basics of building a robot, Java, and CAD.
David
Mechanical Sub Team: Builder
Drive Sub Team: Driver
My name is David and I am a freshman at James Clemens High School. This is my first year on the team and I am a builder. I work on lots of motorized vehicles like dirt bikes and go-karts, so when a friend mentioned this team to me, I was already interested. I really hope to learn something new by the end of my time on the team.
