Gar-Field Senior High School

Robotics Team

Gar-field High School's esteemed Robotics team started in 2006, and that same year the team won the Virginia FTC Championship and represented G-F at the World Championships in Atlanta. The following season G-F placed second in the VA Championship, and in the 2008-2009 season the Varsity team, Team 33, Leviathan, went to Dallas, TX for the VEX World Championship. They placed within the top 50 out of about 250 teams from all over the world. The G-F Robotics team has built a stellar reputation in a very short time in the robotics community. During the Robotics season of 2009-2010, the Varsity Team 33, Maverick, placed 12th in Robot Skills at the 2009-2010 VEX Robotics World Championships in Dallas, TX. They also placed within the top half of their division. This past 2010-2011 season, the Gar-Field Robotics team was represented in the Prince William County Zero Robotics Team, SuperNOVA. This team consisting of students from Osbourn Park, Gar-Field, and Battlefield HS placed in the Top 5 (Semi-Finalist Standings) and ended up in 3rd place in the nation (Finals). Varsity FTC Team 33, Maverick was a member of the VA FIRST FTC State Championship alliance and attended the 2011 VEX World Championships at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Center in FL. The team is also responsible for reaching out to the community and to provide mentorship to the surrounding middle schools in need of help and support, such as Beville Middle School and Woodbridge Middle School. The team also actively volunteers by running Qualifiers and the annual Roboticon for the middle school students. G-F Robotics members have also appeared in various functions in the community, such as the Annual Community Covenant in Manassas and National Young Readers' Day.
