Robotics Club

For several years, the Ithaca High School Robotics Team has used IPEI as the tax-exempt vehicle through which to raise grant money and tax-deductible contributions that have allowed the team to participate in State-wide and National robotics competition. The team has enjoyed great success!

Code Red Robotics is the Ithaca High robotics team that participates annually in the FIRST Robotics Competition. The work of the Ithaca students and engineers from local companies culminated at the regionals in Rochester in February where Code Red reached the quarterfinals, and at Drexel University in March where they finished third.

The regionals gave the Code Red team a chance to compete with other robots from schools in neighboring states and Canada.  The robot named "The Commander" was quite effective in the attacking portion of the game called "Breakaway" and earned itself and the team a reputable name. Throughout the tournaments Code Red Robotics helped other teams and were always there to lend a helping hand.  As Anna Stern, an active member of the team, remarked, "Team 639 was helpful, determined, and persevering"

Code Red's biggest accomplishment was receiving the Johnson and Johnson Award for Gracious Professionalism for the second consecutive year. FIRST greatly values gracious and professional attitudes in the midst of heated competition. The team returned to Ithaca "with their heads held high and memories to last a lifetime," exclaimed Devan Musa, the Build Team Manager.

Team 639, representing Ithaca High and area sponsors, succeeded in establishing themselves as a formidable force in the robotics community while maintaining their gracious principles and professional attitudes.

Code Red Robotics would not exist if it were not for the following sponsors: Kionix Inc., AccuFab Inc, Autodesk Inc, BAE Systems, BorgWarner Morse TEC, CBORD, Goodrich, Ithaco Space Systems, Incodema, IPEI, Innovative Metalworks, Ithaca High School, Loyal Order of the Moose – Ithaca, NY Lodge 666, VFW, Moosewood Restaurant, and TransCOR Information Technologies.
