5499- Berkeley High School Robotics

Team History
Team 5499 was founded in 2015 by a Pioneers in Engineering team. Berkeley High School Robotics is located in Berkeley, CA and is made up of students from Berkeley High School. The team operates with a $15,000 budget and with a team of 15 students. Most of 5499's mentors are UC Berkeley students. Berkeley High Robotics operates with little to no support from their school. In our rookie we were completely lost. We had no idea how to strategize and didn't have access to any machining tools. Our robot barely moved and scored a maximum of 4 points. Nevertheless, we met over the summer to identify our problems and come up with solutions. We rebuilt our 2015 robot for Chezy Champs and made it to the quarterfinals and won the Most Improved Team Award.
