Team 1640 (Sab-BOT-age) was founded with 12 students in 2005 by DEHS physics teacher Paul Sabatino. Mr. Sabatino had been involved with FRC for several years in the West Chester School District with Team 104. The Downingtown FRC team now encompasses nearly thirty students and more than a dozen mentors. The organization has expanded its scope to include VEX Robotics Competition and FIRST LEGO League teams.

Mission

To inspire and educate pre-college students within the greater Downingtown Area school district in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on experiences with robotic technology. Build knowledge, an understanding of planning and project management and life skills (especially gracious professionalism, team work, effective communications, coopetition and leadership). Promote expansion of this program both within and beyond the Downingtown District.

Organization

We have a Steering Committee to provide strategic leadership, governanace and make significant capital decisions.

Technical oversight of the FRC Team is provided by the Design Team, which coordinates the work between the different sub-team disciplines (CAD, mechanical, electrical, and programming).

Many non-technical aspects of the Team are administered by support staff members, both mentors and students.

A critical dimension of Team operations is Fundraising. No money, no robots!

For gettting the word out, we rely on the Media Team.

Our newest team addition is our Spirit Team.
