SHARKB0TS 14903
Our Mission: "A Byte Into The Future"
Empowering students in STEM through collaboration, passion & creativity.
We are passionate about science and technology, and our mission is to share this passion, connect with others, and ultimately learn and grow from one another.
Teamwork makes the dream work...
We are Team Number 14903, the SharkBots based in Mamaroneck, NY. We are a motivated, diverse and skilled group of 10 high school students from all over Westchester County, who came together after the merging of two FIRST teams. Though our team number has been around for several seasons, many of our members are relatively new to FTC and in many ways we are a rookie team. We are embracing new opportunities to build and establish our team from the ground up and to be competitive and sustainable for many years to come.
EVERYONE GET OUT OF THE WATER...
SHARKBOTS hosted a tournament!
In an extraordinarily fun and competitive experience, Sharkbots organized its first ever FLL tournament featuring close to 20 teams in NY. Beyond the competition, we offered a glimpse into the world of FTC robotics, showcasing our complex robot and its ability to adapt to various settings to accomplish key missions.
Get ready for worlds!
Sharkbots won Regionals!
Through lots of hardwork and dedication, a whole new V2 robot, advanced software, and amazing outreach opportunities, we managed to pull through during the Excelsior Championship in Utica qualifying as captain of the winning alliance. We couldn't be more proud of this team!

V1 Robot
Our initial robot which led us to regionals and helped us accomplish our minimum objectives for the multiple complex missions.
V2 Robot
Our new robot enabled us to go further, with more precision and speed, all in more compact design, and reach worlds.
WHAT : Early on into the season we connected with John Collins, the previous world record holder for the longest paper airplane flight.
HOW : After some quick research one of our teammates contacted him who quickly returned his delight. We swiftly organized a zoom meeting where he taught us the physics behind aerodynamics and helped us brainstorm potential launchers.
WHY : Our main goal was to get insight for our initial brainstorming phase and understand the various paths we could follow to accomplish our goal of launching a paper airplane as close to the wall as possible.
