Team 5199 started FTC Team 15497, the MantArrays, in 2018
Since 2018, the Robot Dolphins have successfully collaborated with local FTC team 15497, working alongside one another, sharing materials, offering guidance, and facilitating a pathway for transitioning into the FRC program.
Summer Series
After the FIRST season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Robot Dolphins hosted a week-long series of virtual robotics workshops to teach important skills, lessons, and strategies for success in robotics to FRC teams throughout Southern California. 5199 collaborated with several major FRC teams, including 1622, 2458, 3309, and 3476, to bring about one of the largest online summer robotics during the course of the 2020 pandemic with 350+ attendees.
Summer Camp
In the summer of 2019, Team 5199 was invited by the CUSD CCA to hold a six-week long robotics workshop to teach middle school students the basics of robotics. Each participant learned aerodynamics, soldering, electrical components, simple power tools, how to build simple parts, and more.
CUSD Innovation Fair
In 2020, the Robot Dolphins were invited to present their award-winning 2019 robot at the CUSD Innovation Fair, an annual event intended to encourage and inspire students throughout the Capistrano Unified School District to pursue careers in STEM.
Bots at the Beach
The Robotic Dolphins co-hosted the Bots at the Beach FLL (FIRST Lego League) Robotics competition with Team 3476, Code Orange, at Dana Hills High School.
STEM Panels
Team 5199 has hosted various panels to provide support to not only our team, but teams throughout the world. All of our panels are streamed live on YouTube, so anyone can watch.
