About US
The Birch Bots, team 5421, is the Birch Wathen Lenox School’s ascendant FIRST robotics team. Being from a boutique, preparatory school in Manhattan, we have stepped up to the challenge of growing and advancing our small team to its fullest potential. Even though we are still a fairly ‘young’ team, we have more than doubled our team's size over the past 3 years. We expanded from 10 to over 25 students. With the help of our 2 mentors and the enthusiasm and dedication of the entire team, we aspire to coalesce as a unit, while improving our individual skills. After attending the past 4 NYC regional competitions, many off-season events, and the 2015 St. Louis Championships, we have gained experience and knowledge that has helped elevate our team in every way possible.
Under the thoughtful and experienced guidance of our mentors, the students take it upon themselves with their own initiative to build, program, and manage the team. Our goal as a team is to improve our own abilities, according to what the individual student is inclined to do. Regardless of your interests, abilities, or experience, all students in the school are encouraged and welcomed to join our team.
